A next generation weapon from Heckler & Koch, the Close Assault Weapons System was designed to minimize combat shotgun size without compromising either accuracy or reliability. The bullpup configuration ensures portability, while ambidextrous design and long barrel ensure accuracy at short and medium ranges. Capable of both single shot and fully automatic fire.
Characteristics
Jackhammer is a peculiar weapon. It ranks above the Neostead Combat SG and the H&K CAWS in terms of damage and range, however, it cannot make targeted shots. However, it has a lower Strength requirement to boot, making it good for close quarters combat.
Locations
Kansas City: Inside a chest in the mutant compound.
Merchant special encounter: Carried by raider guards, can be stolen.
Behind the scenes
The Pancor Jackhammer was a prototypical automatic shotgun that was designed in 1984 and patented in 1987, though it never entered production as its target audience (military and police forces worldwide) never placed an order for these weapons and Pancor went bankrupt.
Burst size: 5 rounds
