Double-barreled Shotgun



The Double-barreled Shotgun (also known colloquially as the "Coach Gun") is one of the Shotguns featured in Red Dead Redemption. It is one of the most powerful shotguns in the game. The model featured in the game seems to be a type of Stoeger manufactured double-barrel, most likely a Stoeger Uplander.

Description
It is a type of cartridged scattergun, making use of a break-top action to load two shells into individual barrels, aligned side by side.

The weapon is extremely useful for subduing targets. If at a far enough distance, a well placed shot to the lower leg can cripple the target without any fatal damage being dealt. During Bounty Hunting, it's possible to shoot a target at range, then move up with the Lasso for an easy Hogtie or finish the target off with ease. But, if shooting a target at point blank range on the leg, it will force him to bleed out and die from his injuries. It is not a good weapon for storming crowded areas, as it gets two shots before having to reload. It does, however, excel at hunting, where the two shells can take down nearly any beast encountered.

Singleplayer

 * This weapon can be bought in Armadillo for $300, or $150 to $75 if the player has high enough honor or fame.


 * This weapon can also be acquired in the level A Frenchman, a Welshman and an Irishman where the last enemy who is hiding in the lakeside cabin has it. After killing him if the player walks over it then it will be automatically added to their inventory.

Multiplayer

 * is unlocked upon reaching rank 37.

Trivia

 * The two shells can be fired at the same time, dealing massive damage.
 * The Sawed-off Shotgun is almost identical to this weapon, but has shorter range an reloads faster.
 * Marshal Johnson almost always uses this weapon in his missions. In some cutscenes however, he can be seen holding one, however during the mission he will have an Evans Repeater
 * It is impossible to not gain this weapon in the mission "A Frenchman, a Welshman and an Irishman". Even if the player drags the NPC with it away from the door with the lasso and walks past him, avoid the shotgun, it will automatically be in their inventory once the mission is complete, but the shotgun will still be on the ground where the NPC with the shotgun was killed.
 * This shotgun is very similar to the The Lion in Red Dead Revolver.
