CONTEMPORARY SHOTGUNS
Derived from hunting weapons, shotguns don't fire a single projectile,but a swarm of smaller projectiles. The barrel isn't rifled,
because the projectile swarm can't use the stabilizing effect of projectile rotation.
The pump or slide action is used to feed in a new cartridge, but it needs two hands for use, so semi-automatic systems are also
used. Shotgun have many advantages. Their large size and big bore give them a significant psychological effet, and the spreading of
the shots (particularly with short barrels) makes them "area weapons", making targeting easier. Their main drawbacks are size and
weight, low ammo capacity, short range and poor armor penetration. The last two can somehow be offset by using specialty rounds,
but they are often of dubious legality and generally have no spreading.
Common variations are shorter barrel and pistol grip (sometimes with a folding stock) for concealment and use in enclosed spaces,
like a car. But they make the weapond difficult to contol, particularly with the larger bore size.

The M4 is a dual-action semiautomatic design, but can be switched over to a
pump-action weapon as needed for special munitions. It uses a gas-operated firing
system, improving its reliability. Recoil is low and the weapon performs excelently
under field conditions.

Daewoo USAS-12
Accuracy : 0
Range : 50 meters
Availability : Poor
Cost : 600 eb
Magazine : 20
Length : 96 cm
Rate of fire : 2/10
Country : Korea
Originally a joint design between Daewoo and the American company of Atchisson,
the USAS-12 was classified as a Class III destructive device in the US and Atchisson
dropped out of the partnership, feeling there would be little or no US sales. The
original design was the Daewoo/Atchisson AA-12 Assault Shotgun, a selective fire
shotgun designed to fire standard as well as exotic ammunition. This was later
modified by Daewoo in the hopes of US sales and renamed the USAS-12, but the
large ammunition capacity of the magazines dashed hopes of this too. Both weapons
can be fed by large capacity box or drum magazines. The weapon is designed like an
assault rifle, and bears a superficial resemblance to the M-16. The low rate of fire
helps keep recoil low, especially during automatic fire.

With the choice either standard pump or semiauto fire that is fast becoming standard
to all Franchi shotguns, this is Scott Harada's fullsized shotgun of choice. Resembling
an AR-15 and complete with folding stock, this shotgun is definately an intimidator
and serves very well in an urban environment.

The HK 512 features a gas-operated semi-automatic design. The weapon is covered in

slug gun.

An American-made pump shotgun, it is available with folding stocks, Magna-Porting to

Accuracy : 0
Range : 50 meters
Availability : Rare
Cost : 675 eb

Length : 79 cm
Rate of fire : 1/10
Country : USA
A unique shotgun design that was years ahead of its time. Developed in the late 80's
the Mark 3-A2 has a ten round ammo cassette which acts as both magazine and firing
chamber. It accepts any standard 12 ga. load and when fully or partially loaded the
ammo cassette can be mated with a special detonator base (an extra 50 eb) and
plunger to become a lethal and reusable anti-personnel mine (AP mine damage is the
damage of the ammunition used x the number of live rounds in the cassette... use
maximum damage if device is stepped on or otherwise point blank).
Remington 11-87

Range : 50 meters
Cost : 260 eb
Magazine : 7
Length : 97 cm
Rate of fire : 2
Country : USA
This is the Remington 11-87 (a development of the 1100) modified for military use,
used in those times when a pump-action weapon simply does throw out lead fast
enough for your purposes. It differs from the standard 1100 in having rifle-type
sights, better chrome inside the barrel, extended magazine, and a recoil pad on the
butt that is almost a full inch thick.

Remington 870
Accuracy : 0
Range : 50 meters
Cost : 220 eb
Magazine : 8
Length : 99 cm
Rate of fire : 1
Country : USA
This was originally a USMC development of the Remington 870 that was designed in
the mid-1960s, and saw long service with that organization until officially replaced by
the Mossberg M590 in the early 1990s. However, large numbers of these shotguns
were still in service at the time of the Twilight War, both with all branches of the
regular US Military and reserve forces (particularly with the Army National Guard).

Range : 50 meters
Availability : Poor
Cost : 255 eb
Magazine : 7
Length : 67 cm
Rate of fire : 1
Country : Russia
This weapon is designed for use by Russian KGB and police forces. It is an unusual
weapon, with the tubular magazine above the barrel, and the slide action being raked
forward to eject a spent round and back to chamber a new round. When the slide is
moved, the entire barrel moves as well. The weapon loads from the top and ejects
from the bottom. This weapon has also been sold on the civilian market.
Sawn-off Shotgun
Accuracy : -2
Range : 25 meters
Cost : 50 eb
Magazine : 2
Length : 35 cm
Rate of fire : 1
Country : USA
Shotguns are always popular weapons, and sawing off the barrel for a greater spread
at close range is nothing new. This weapon takes it to the extreme. Most shotguns are
shaved to the choke, this shotgun has actually had the choke shortened, dropping its
ammo capacity to 2, but also enabling faster reloads and more concealability, and to
further the conceivability factor, the stock has also been removed.
Scattergun Patrol

Cost : 275 eb
Magazine : 7
Length : 97 cm

Availability : Rare
Cost : 325 eb
Magazine : 5
Length : 55 cm
Rate of fire : 1
In the terms of stopping power and short range firepower in general the 12 gauge
shotguns are hard to beat, but most shotguns of conventional design are too long or
has too small magazines for confined spaces operations, so designers of the Techno
Arms developed a new concept of the shotgun, mixing the concept of the compact
submachine gun and the concept of the pump shotgun.
Truvelo Neostead
Accuracy : 0
Range : 50 meters
Availability : Poor
Cost : 425 eb
Magazine : 12
Length : 69 cm
Rate of fire : 1
This is a South African shotgun featuring twin tubular over-barrel magazines. A switch
selects which magazine is feeding the weapon on a given shot; therefore, the user
may have two types of ammunition ready at a time. The pump action is revered, in
that the slide is pushed forwards to eject a spent round and back to feed a new
round. Ejection of spent rounds is downwards. The surface of the weapon is shrouded
in plastic to prevent catching on clothing and equipment during use.

Cost : 300 eb
Magazine : 7
Length : 92 cm
Rate of fire : 1

below the barrel. The straight back stock reduces muzzle climb after it is fired.
