Roberta is a unique weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background
Roberta used to be owned by Roberta Torres, a caravan guard with Samson Caravans. In 2243, the caravan was victim of a hostile takeover by a band of tribals in the the northern Texas Commonwealth. Roberta's partner, Theodore Calhoun, was able to repel the attack, but not before the driver and guards were killed and the wagon set on fire. With Roberta's last breath, she gave her shotgun to Theodore and told him that it could come in handy later.

Characteristics
Roberta is a unique lever-action shotgun that has had some modifications made to it. A choke has been affixed to it, allowing for tighter, more accurate shots. In fact, Roberta has the smallest spread of any shotgun. In addition, the tube has been lengthened to store five more shells, making for less reloads. The extended tube does increase the weight, but only by 0.5 pounds. The barrel has been modified to accept 12 gauge shells rather than 20 gauge, allowing the shotgun to discharge a more powerful shot.

Like other lever-action shotguns, Roberta has a top-loading, hand-fed magazine. This is advantageous for the wielder may stop reloading at any time and fire, if only one or two shots are needed.

Variants

 * Lever-action shotgun
