Overview:

PROS:
- High Damage
- High Knockback
- Reloads Quickly (versus other Shotguns)
- Large Magazine (versus other Shotguns)

CONS:
- Short Effective Range
- Inaccurate (versus other Shotguns)
- High Ammo Cost

TACTICS:
Its high rate of fire coupled with excellent damage per shot and a very large magazine makes it an effective, if ammo-consuming, close quarters exterminator. Its accuracy and range are underwhelming however, and are likely to put its wielder into harms way. Giving it to a survivor with a high Ranged Combat skill is recommended.
Recommended gear:
- Glasses extend its poor effective range, with some variants improving its poor accuracy as well.

BACKGROUND:
An ambidextrous bullpup shotgun built to be as light and compact as possible, the KS-25 uniquely features twin tube magazines to maximize capacity without increasing its size. A switch behind the grip controls which magazine is used, while both are loaded from a port on the bottom of the stock, which also doubles as an ejection port.
Brand new, this shotgun was introduced for military/police use when the outbreak hit.

Variations:

The KS-25 has no modular variations.
