Additional Comments: A semi automatic shotgun action inside a nylon sheath. The weapon has a buttstock that swivels which is braced against the inside of the right arm so the weapon can be fired accurately one handed. The flashlight on top of the weapon is focused so the shot pattern hits in the center of the light beam. Where the light hits is where the shot impacts. The E-factor and ranges shown are based on magnum 00 buck.
A shotgun really shines in the jungle, dense woods, in urban combat, and in situations involving riots. Limiting the player to just Magnum 00 Buckshot severely limits the potential of what could be a very useful (in some situations) tool. There lock shattering door breachers (Shock loks), CS or OC pepper filled shells that open immediately or can be launched into a room. Solid Slugs (17mm) can drop large game or end a thug right now. Rubber pellets disperse rioters and a lead bean bag can know one down and take the fight right out without killing. Rubber slugs can get one angry fellow in a crowd out to 25m without killing him or really endanger anyone else. There are signal flares in a variety of colors. Incendiary shells like the dragons breath or shells that can be launched 75m and ignite on impact. All can be loaded in any order so as to be fired in a sequence that suits the firers pre-planned intent of use. Such as 3 shok loks (latch and two hinges) and two slugs to take down a locked door and engage the Krell thugs on the other side.
