Similar to the range of shotguns available in Fallout 4, there are just 2 base shotguns in Fallout 3 (with one more being DLC) with some unique variants (that funnily enough look the same) thrown in for good measure. Thankfully, each of the 5 on offer is quite different from the other in their stats and potential use to the player. Perhaps due to the limited number, all are useful at certain points, but players will find some far more powerful later in their post-apocalyptic adventures.
