"The sawed-off shotgun deals incredible damage at close range." In-game Description.

Tactics
This weapon seems to be overlooked by most, but with a little work it lives up to it's ingame description. A full hit can deal 80*9, that's a hitscan 720 damage - with another shell instantly ready in the chamber.

Patience is key however, and it is a common mistake at first to rush the shots. It pays to make sure your aim is true, and close in some rather than wasting the shots. Afterall, 2 well aimed shots will be sufficient to kill ANY class (except shielded Raiders or Brutes).
