A Shotgun is a smooth-bore firearm that fires a charge of small, round pellets known as shot. Early models have barrels either side by side or over-and-under, and are termed double-barreled shotguns. Shotguns can only fire twice before requiring the replacement of their explosive shells. They are also short-ranged and inaccurate, but are extremely easy to use and can blow a large hole in any alien invader who happens to get too close. Shotguns are popular among troopers for their area-effect firepower at close range.
