Big Boomer

The Big Boomer is a unique weapon .
==Background==
==Characteristics==
As compared to the standard sawed-off shotgun, the Big Boomer has a much darker color scheme with heavier rusting, and the words "Big Boomer" stenciled onto the grip in faded white paint. It deals significantly higher damage, delivering 20 more points of total possible damage. In addition, Big Boomer also has a slightly tighter spread, lower AP cost, and fires slightly faster. The only major drawback is that the common sawed-off shotgun is classified as a holdout weapon, whereas the Big Boomer is not.
===Durability===
Big Boomer can fire a total of about 395 times, or 790 standard rounds, the equivalent of 395 reloads, from full condition before breaking. This is exactly the same amount as its common variant.
==Variants==
* Sawed-off shotgun - the common variant found throughout the Mojave Wasteland.
* Sawed-off shotgun - used by two button men during How Little We Know if Cachino's journal is given to the Omertas and Cachino is killed.
===Comparison===
==Location==
The weapon is carried by Old Lady Gibson, who resides in the Gibson scrap yard near Novac. It can either be pickpocketed or taken from her body if she is killed.
==Behind the scenes==
Within the game's files exists an unused texture for the Big Boomer.Unused texture for the Big Boomer \textures\weapons\1handpistol\bigboomernv.dds It uses the Fallout 3 model and only differs from that in the color of the wood and the words Big Boomer written down the side of the handgrip.
==Bugs==
* When in first person view, the weapon looks fine, but when in third person view, the grip of the gun can be detached from the two barrels. 
* In unpatched versions, it can be bought from Mick at Mick & Ralph's. 
* Big Boomer does not contribute to the "I've Got Shotgun" damage challenge. 
* Occasionally after you kill Old Lady Gibson she will not have the Big Boomer in her inventory.
