==Basic information==
Don’t be fooled, this is not the same thing as the regular [[Shotgun|shotgun]] with less range. Indeed, the crucial aspect of this weapon lies in its type: single-handed, as opposed to the shotgun’s two-handed. This weapon is a handy one (no pun intended) for the budding gunslinger. The knockback chance that comes standard with all shotguns is an extra perk for those pesky melee critters and raiders. The fairly good stats of the [[12 ga. Shotgun Shells|12 gauge]] round as well as the potential to use its many variants is another plus. However, the pathetic range of 7 hexes can’t be left ignored, and you will be reloading frequently. Consider the [[.44 Magnum Revolver]] with a [[Speed Loader]] instead, if you’re feeling lucky. One-handed weapon users looking for another burst weapon on this tier might be interested in the [[M3A1 "Grease Gun" SMG|grease gun]]. The "accurate" perk is also mostly useless for this weapon.

==Background==
Sawed-off shotguns have historically played a strong role in urban crime. Their short length makes it possible to conceal underneath a trenchcoat, and the devastating power of the 12 gauge shotgun shell will render anyone dead with one shell to virtually anywhere on their body -- the shock and blood loss will usually kill them if the trauma doesn't. This made it ideal for uneducated, untrained and impoverished mobsters that had no firearms knowledge or training. Another advantage is that break-action shotguns are legendarily robust, to the point that they're virtually indestructible if the proper ammunition is always used -- this again suits mobsters that had no knowledge of firearms maintenance. Long before the war, sawed-off shotguns were considered illegally manufactured pistols, and would result in jail time if found in possession.

==Advantages==
*[[Accurate]] is a weapon perk which increases the [[chance to hit]] by 20%.
*Can cause knockdowns up from 10 hexes. 10% per bullet chance to knockback.
*Is considered as one-handed weapon, and thus give no penalties to sneaking.

*[[Combat Shotgun]]
