12-gauge shotgun |
 |
| Weight: |
10 pounds or 10.5 pounds |
| Barrel Length: |
13 inches or 18 inches |
| Features: |
The Auto Assault 12 is a very-low-recoil shotgun. It fires 2.75-inch shells at a rate of five per second from either a 20-round drum or an eight-round magazine. Made of aircraft-grade stainless steel, the AA-12 rarely (if ever) needs lubricating or cleaning. |
| Evaluator: |
"In urban combat, this system could be a decisive factor. This needs to be in the hands of our troops now!" |

| POLYSHOK IMPACT REACTIVE PROJECTILE |
| Caliber: |
12-gauge shotgun shell |
 |
| Features: |
This 540-grain "timed expansion round" delivers the accuracy and punch of a normal 12-gauge slug with about half the recoil. Capable of penetrating body armor and auto glass, it unleashes nearly all of its energy on the target, greatly reducing prospects of unintended collateral damage. |
| Evaluator: |
"Damn. If this ammo isn’t in the inventory now, it should be" |
