**PROS:** - High Damage - High Knockback - Reloads Quickly *(vs other Shotguns)*

**CONS:** - Small Magazine *(lowest of all Shotguns)* - Short Effective Range

**TACTICS:** A powerful weapon capable of killing or badly wounding most zombies with just a single blast, which is compensated by the fact that it only has two shots before needing to reload, though that is done relatively quickly. Combined with its short effective range, however, it is very likely that its wielder will end up swarmed if alone. ***Recommended gear: ***- Ammunition Pouches/Bandoliers increase reload speed. - Glasses improve the short range, with some variants improving the accuracy.

**BACKGROUND:** A double-barreled hunting shotgun reconfigured into classic (and illegal) "Lupara" fashion. The shortened barrel ensures loud and messy results by widening the spread of shot, but also reduces its deadliness beyond close range. A custom firearm fashioned mostly by criminals and ranch owners.

##### **Variations:** This weapon has no modular variations.
