A shotgun is a firearm that is usually designed to be fired from the shoulder, which uses the energy of a fixed shell to fire a number of small spherical pellets called shot, or a solid projectile called a slug.
Its appearance and alternative name SPAS is based on the real-life Franchi SPAS-12[1], which is a 12-gauge Italian shotgun known to be usable both in semi-automatic and pump-action modes.
