Recycling Products: Barrel x 1 Trigger System x 1 Machined Parts x Variable  (dependent on the item's Level and attachments/conditions) 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.
