A shotgun of an unmentioned model is a close-quarters weapon primarily used by the armed forces of Weyland-Yutani Corporation during the 2230s.

Overview[]

A simple but deadly design that offers its user ease of use and a certain degree of reliability. [1]

Ammunition[]

  • Shells: Each shell contains a number of pellets that spread out in roughly conical manner. Shells are deadly against soft targets but have problems penetrating armored targets. [1] The effectiveness of this type of ammunition decreases with distance.
  • Slugs: A single projectile is fired that is effective against armored targets. [1]

Usage[]

The shotgun saw a limited use with the Weyland-Yutani Corporation guards deployed in Forward Observation Pods on LV-1201 as well as Iron Bears mercenary unit. [2] It was also popular among Marines in spite of the Corps frowning upon the use of personal weapons. [1]
