Have you ever wondered why shotguns in video games have a maximum effective range of 2 yards? Don't you wish you had a shotgun that could hold a human-sized pattern at ranges normally only suited for rifles? Do things that fly around piss you off? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then the Marlin Model 55 Goose Gun is for you.
History
The Marlin Model 55 was designed in 1954 as a bolt-action shotgun for hunting small to medium-sized game. The original "Hunter" model featured a 28-inch barrel and was offered in 20, 16, 12, and 10 gauge chamberings. It was replaced in 1962 by the "Goose Gun" model, which had a massive 36-inch full choke barrel and was offered primarily in 12 gauge. The Goose Gun was designed to maximize the effective range of a 12-gauge shotgun shell, giving it the highest velocity and tightest pattern possible in order to effectively hunt high-flying waterfowl such as geese at ranges around 100 yards. The gun is a typical manually-operated bolt-action firearm, though bolt-action mechanisms are rarely used for shotguns. The goose gun's main advantage over its contemporaries is the 36" barrel, which allows even low-powered bird loads to reach higher velocities than they normally would, thus allowing shorter lead distances, retention of power at range, and tighter patterns since the shot has less time to spread. The extra length also gives a longer sight plane for more accurate shooting.

Stats
The gun is balanced to have a higher base damage than the vanilla hunting shotgun, but it has a lower DPS due to the slower bolt action. It gives a 50% bonus to critical hit chance, and the critical hit damage is 13 per pellet (9 pellets total). It holds a much tighter pattern than the vanilla hunting shotgun, even when modded with a choke, and is more durable.The weapon is affected by the "Shotgun Surgeon" and "Commando" perks, as well as the "And Stay Back" perk from Dead Money if it is installed.
