About this mod
Adds an AR style shotgun (downloadable in 12 gauge or 20 gauge versions) to New Vegas, including leveled list integration. It is a slightly lower tier weapon than the Riot Shotgun, having less ammo capacity and damage than its higher tier counterpart, but also less spread. It has laser sight, extended magazine, and tuned gas system weapon mods.

- Changelogs
The 20 gauge version has an even lower skill requirement of 75, putting it on the same tier as the Hunting Shotgun and helping the player get more use out of 20 gauge ammunition in the later game. The damage per shot of the 20 gauge version is on par with the Caravan Shotgun, though it fires faster and thus has a much higher DPS with accuracy slightly worse than the Lever-Action Shotgun. The 20 gauge version also has an additional shell per magazine compared to the 12 gauge version. In both versions, the Assault Shotgun is considered a "Tier 4" weapon and has leveled list integration.
The following mods are available for the Assault Shotgun: Laser Sight, Extended Magazines, and Tuned Gas System (the tuned gas system increases condition, or reliability).
This weapon is inspired by the TriStar KRX Tactical Shotgun.

CONFLICTS
This mod does not directly alter any base game weapons, textures, leveled lists, or form lists. However, the weapons do depend on a few base game textures.
RECOMMENDATIONS
I recommend checking out Shotgun Shell Fixes by Jeremy Calvert if you choose to use the 20 gauge version. If you need to increase the number of useful 20 gauge shotguns in your game, I've made another mod to that end called Hunting Shotgun 20 Gauge Rechamber. This mod works fine in tandem with it balance-wise, since the 20 gauge version of this weapon still has higher strength and skill requirements and less damage per shot compared to the rechambered Hunting Shotgun in that mod.
INSTALLATION
Only download ONE of the four files, depending on your preference. Put the contents of the mod folder (the folder with the .esp inside of it) into your Data folder, or use a mod manager. To uninstall, delete the mod's files (.esp, meshes, and textures) or uninstall using a mod manager.
CREDITS
Thanks to SpamPTRS for the black plastic stock texture and to Bottletopman for figuring out how to get the laser sight to turn off when holstered.
ADDENDUM
I have made a lot of mods. Because I like to create different versions to give the user plenty of options, it's extremely difficult for me to bundle my mods together. I recommend getting the FNV Mod Limit Fix by iranrmrf, or try using a tool like Merge Plugins by Mator.
