Light Shotgun

A Light Shotgun is a two-handed firearm designed to accelerate heavy, solid slugs at short engagement distances, favouring blunt impact over sustained precision. Unlike long-range arms built around narrow projectiles, it delivers force through mass and proximity, making it most effective in confined spaces and controlled firing lanes. This variant reduces overall weight and forward mass, allowing it to be raised, tracked, and held on overwatch with less strain. While it sacrifices a measure of stopping power compared to heavier patterns, it remains a close-range authority tool, built to end advances quickly and decisively.
