Hm. Special ammo, huh? I'd assumed (usually a mistake
) that it used standard 12-gauge ammo. Special ammo would dry up pretty quickly and would become extremely scarce. By 2000, it sounds like the CAW would only be good for a flashy, expensive club (kind of like the H&K G-11 AR).
I guess in the PAW, a Mossy or Remy would be a much better choice than a fancy automatic shotty.
