Shotgun

Shotgun
The shotgun is a pump-action 12-gauge shotgun that fires a spray of buckshot from a 6-round magazine tube. The shotgun must be manually cycled between shots, and in general is only useful at point-blank to close-range.

Survivor Pros

 * The shotgun holds the potential to instantly kill a normal zombie if all pellets make contact.
 * The shotgun is one of the most common weapons, meaning you can usually always find one.
 * The shotgun's wide spray of pellets, and high-damage output means you do not have to be very accurate to be effective, making this a great starting weapon.
 * You can interrupt the shotgun's reload partway through if you need to quickly get a shot off, or if you simply need it to be ready.

Survivor Cons

 * The shotgun's damage quickly falls off with range, and the wide spread means less pellets will hit. In short, avoid shooting anything beyond close-range, as you'll only be wasting ammo.
 * Since the shotgun has a magazine tube, you must reload each shell individually. This means that the more rounds you fire, the longer you spend reloading.
 * The shotgun must be pumped after every shot, making this weapon fire relatively slow.
