Charlotte is a unique weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.

Background
Theodore "Texas" Calhoun kept this lever-action rifle as his only form of protection after his hometown of Trapper Flats was raided. After his wife Charlotte went missing after the raider attack, he named his rifle in her honor. Texas has kept the rifle in remembrance of her, hoping that she'll turn up eventually.

Characteristics
Charlotte is a unique cowboy repeater. Ever since Texas left Trapper Flats with Samson Caravans, he's tinkered with the rifle from time to time, mostly when his caravan had some time off and rested. He's essentially replaced every part in the rifle, from its reciever, to its stock and even the barrel. That part was hard to come by.

The barrel was scavenged from an old folk museum Calhoun found in northern Texas. The rifling was done so well, the bullet seldom skews away from where it's aimed. The tube holds 14 shots allowing for sparing reloads. Even if one needs to reload, the tube has a built-in folding funnel which allows for faster and more accurate reloading.

The receiver is made of a high grade titanium/high-carbon steel alloy, making it more durable than a normal receiver as well as lighter. The receiver has also been modified to accepted .44 caliber rounds. The stock is carved and polished mesquite wood. with a spring loaded plate affixed to the butt, which reduces kick, allowing the wielder to fire off multiple rounds without straying off target.

Variants

 * Cowboy repeater, a standard .357 magnum lever-action rifle.
 * La Longue Carabine, a cowboy repeater with a scope affixed to it.

Location

 * The rifle is found in possession of Theodore "Texas" Calhoun, sheriff of Coyote Bluff.
