 Overview: 

 PROS: - Very High Damage - High Knockback - Fully Automatic - Accurate - Low Ammo Cost 

 CONS: - Short Effective Range - Reload Slowly - Small Magazine - Slow RoF (versus other Automatics) 

 TACTICS: Ostensibly an automatic shotgun, it has more in common with  Marion's Trident than it does with other automatics, with its small magazine, high accuracy, low rate of fire and very high damage per shot. While this shotgun has the high damage and knockback commonplace amongst shotguns, its small and slowly reloaded magazine warrants support, whether from longer-ranged weapons or from melee weapons. Recommended gear: - Extended Mags to increase its small magazine. - Bandoliers/Ammunition Pouches to decrease its considerable reload time. - Ammunition Mods to further buff up its already high damage. 

 BACKGROUND: Another Kalashnikov variant; this time designed to fire 12-gauge shotgun rounds. This lethal weapon comes in various models that have been used for everything from hunting tasty deer to clearing bad guys from buildings - both within its native country and without. A favorite amongst recreational shooters, as well as some law enforcement and private security companies. 

 Variations: 

 The Saiga-12 has no modular variations.
