Bozar

The Bozar is a light machine gun appearing in Fallout 2 and Gun Runners' Arsenal.

Behind the scenes
 "Guys, let me walk you through my design logic on implementing the Bozar.


 * The Bozar in Fallout 2 was, functionally, an accurate, fast burst fire weapon.
 * Its icon looked cool and very distinctive.
 * Presumably, people like the Bozar because of how it actually worked and how its icon looked, not because of what its description said or how it looked on the Chosen One's tiny avatar.
 * Fallout: New Vegas has scoped semi-auto/bolt/lever rifles dropping out of the sky. From Ratslayer to All-American to La Longue Carabine to the Anti-Materiel Rifle, they are well-represented.
 * Scoped automatic weapons in F:NV: not that many. The K9000/FIDO are the only two I can think of, and those fire .357 Mag/.44 Mag at a relatively low rate of fire (though the Resla Roil increases this dramatically) with a moderate spread.

Based on these factors, I thought the best course for implementing the Bozar was to make it an accurate, fast burst fire weapon -- essentially a unique scoped Light Machine Gun -- that looked more or less like the icon from Fallout 2."

 * The Bozar was likely meant to be the Big Gun equivalent of a sniper rifle in Fallout 2, but was ultimately implemented as a fully automatic machine gun.
 * S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky has legacy code indicating that the Bozar and the .223 pistol, alongside a .223 ammunition subtype, were meant to be included in the game, but this was never finalized.
