Slugshot

The slugshot is an upgrade for the shotgun. Its shells contain one solid "slug" (essentially a giant bullet) instead of four pellets. It inflicts the same level of damage as a close-range shotgun blast.

Advantages

 * Higher rate of fire than the Shotgun
 * Effective at long range

Disadvantages

 * Lower rate of fire than the Autoloader
 * No spread makes scoring a hit more difficult

Trivia

 * In real life, any shotgun can fire solid slugs without modification, so long as that shell has been chambered in the right gauge.
