This article contains the location and other details about Paulson's Revolver (unique Western Revolver).

Location: Inside the Vault 115 cafeteria, behind the counter next to Fenton's body. If you used explosives to deal with the turrets (or somewhere else nearby) the weapon may have been thrown somewhere else in the room.

Details:

Paulson's Revolver works differently compared to it's common counterpart: rather than firing a single bullet, it splits it into 8 projectiles, making it behave like a handgun-shotgun hybrid. The exact changes are as follows:

-Fires 8 projectiles per trigger pull (no additional ammo cost)
-Increased spread and decreased accuracy
-Increased damage (split evenly between projectiles)
-Reduced rate of fire
-Significantly reduced range

Because each individual projectile is subject to damage resistance, the weapon is less effective against armor or creatures with sufficiently high damage resistance. Conversely it is highly efficient against targets with poor armor or natural resistance.
