Shotgun

This Classic weapon is a well versatile choice for many classes. It features 6 clips with 20 rounds in reserve. You can hold a maximum of 46 rounds in total (clip + reserve).

Soldiers will use shotguns when you dont want to injure yourself from rockets. Pyros will use the shotgun to finish of enemies that are on fire and out of range. The Heavy will use the shotgun when they need to run-and-gun muliple targets. Finally, Engineers will use shotguns as their primary source of damage along with their sentry.

Strategy
Shotguns are truly useful. Often times you will use the shotgun as a primary despite any class you may choose. Add any mods that will increase its reload speed and firing speed, and you will truly get a room sweeper. But beware your ammo count!

Variations
The shotgun also has different versions of itself based on war paints. These types have special effects as listed below.
