The multiplier is the number of pellets that the shotgun's shells carry, and the damage is how much each shot does if it hits the target. Think of it this way.

If you have a gun with 50 damage and you connect, that's that. However, you have your gun with the x7 multiplier, some hits might get your base, some won't connect at all, and some will get up to 7x damage. because you might not hit with all shots.

If so why not just show the total damage figure? Thanks Shola – is the multiplication permanent? If so why not just show the total damage figure?

That, in conjunction with your gun's rate of fire makes the difference between a cool weapon and an AWESOME one. Critical hit measure is a different number entirely, and you can see that stat whenever you grab a new gun. Keep in mind: SMGs, for example, have lower damage numbers but HIGH rate of fire in some cases. If your gun has a damage of 21, but spits out 7 hits with each press, that's 21 x 7, which is a lot better than a gun that gets 60 damage per burst. It’s a multiplication of damage.

I love this game - I am a BIG Fallout 3 fan but this is more fun:-) Some of the levels are huge and take ages but never get boring - I'm currently in the mine's trying to get to Sledge. Please can someone explain what the "x7" means against a gun's power rating? Is it a multiplication of damage or a critical hit measure? Thanks again - Rik. Hi, great site – thanks!

Please can someone explain what the “x7″ means against a gun’s power rating? Is it a multiplication of damage or a critical hit measure?

Thanks again – Rik.

Also, it seems like there are never enough grenades so I'm constantly hitting up the machine for that.
