Shotgun

The Shotgun is a standard magazine-tube fed, pump-action shotgun. The Shotgun fires a spray of pellets in a wide cone, dealing massive damage at close range, but poor damage at longer ranges. Its fireate and reload speed are slower in comparison to other weapons, so try to hit all your shots.

Advantages

 * The Shotgun is often a one hit kill at point blank range, assuming the majority of the pellets make contact with the zombie.
 * The Shotgun is incredibly common, meaning you will often be able to find one.
 * The Shotgun's wide spray of pellets means it's harder to miss, so it's a good starting weapon to practice with.
 * If several Humans are armed with a Shotgun, they can deal massive amounts of damage to the Fatkid.

Disadvantages

 * The Shotgun has a slower firerate and reload speed than most weapons, meaning missing a shot may be a deadly mistake.
 * The Shotgun suffers at range, so you may need to use your Pistol or take another weapon to kill a zombie.
 * The nature of the Shotgun makes it very poor for dealing with multiple targets at a time. If there is a crowd of 3 or more zombies, it's recommended to not use a Shotgun against them.

Trivia

 * The Shotgun was one of the first two equippable weapons in Fatkid, the other being the Magnum.
 * The first iteration of the Shotgun used the Halo CE model, though this was changed in a later update.
 * The Shotgun is one of several weapons that have unique gibsets. The Shotguns allow for 2, blowing a hole in the torso, and spilling their guts.
 * Getting a headshot with the shotgun causes the head to pop.
 * First gun to hold a Survivor variant, in which a special version is given in the "Save One Bullet" mutation.
