Shotgun

"Although the shotgun can only deal short-range, it is deadly up close. Its wide bullet spread, recoil, and damage will make it a powerful addition to your arsenal."

The Shotgun is a pump-action weapon which fires hitscan shotgun shells. It is accessed by pressing 2 on the keyboard, and M1 to fire, or M2 to Aim Down the Sights.

When fired, it will shoot 1 shell per second. Each shell contains 10 pellets, which each deal 17 damage and spread out in an extremely inaccurate pattern. If all pellets in a shot connect, 100 damage will be dealt. There are 5 shots in the magazine before a reload. When reloading, the Shotgun has 10 ammunition in reserve, taking roughly 4 seconds to reload. When all reserve ammo is used, it goes on a 20 second cooldown.

This weapon performs best at very close ranges, where it has the potential to instantly kill an enemy with a well-aimed shot, allowing you to outdamage M-16 users, and without the risk of blowing yourself up if you were using a Bazooka. Because you can reload while running and jumping, it is also the most agile weapon in the game, allowing you to dodge effectively while constantly shooting. The downside to this close range power is its very wide inaccurate spread, making it almost completely useless at long range; its ammunition also runs out quickly, and it spends a lot of time reloading.

Its visuals appear to be based on a Winchester Model 1912 Trench Gun pump-action shotgun, which was used by the US Army in World War I, World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War.
