Pump-action Shotgun

The  is a shotgun featured in Red Dead Redemption. It is modelled after the Winchester Model 1897 12 gauge trench gun.

Singleplayer

 * The player receives the Pump Action Shotgun after or during (if he picks it up) the mission "And The Truth Will Set You Free".

Multiplayer

 * This shotgun is obtained at level 11. It is very effective in Multiplayer. It has largest magazine of all shotguns found in the game, and it does have a stable fire rate (not too quick or slow), that prevents the player shooting the entire magazine into one enemy. It's also quite powerful, as it can perform one-shot kill at close ranges (about 5ft) and 2-shot kill at up to about 15ft, though it loses out to the Semi-Auto Shotgun in terms of sheer power. The pump action shotgun has the longest range out of all the shotguns found in Red Dead Redemption.

Tips & Tricks

 * Like almost every other weapon in the game, combining Dead Eye with this shotgun drastically increases its range. It should be noted that the shells still spread, meaning aiming for the head in Dead Eye of a target very far away will not guarantee an instant kill.

Trivia



 * The 1897 Shotgun has been produced by various companies since 1897, making it one of the oldest guns still in production.


 * The Model 1897 lacks a trigger disconnector enabling the shooter to slam fire. This means that when the shooter keeps the trigger pulled while pumping the shotgun, the gun fires when the pump is returned to the forward position.


 * The 1897 Shotgun is the only pump action shotgun allowed in Cowboy Action Shooting, making it a very popular shotgun amongst western fans.


 * In promotional pre-release material the Shotgun appeared to be a hybrid between the Winchester Model 11 and 1897, but once the game came out, the in game shotgun was clearly an 1897.


 * The 1897 shotgun was utilized in World War I by American forces, with a short 20-inch barrel and bayonet which made it ideal for use in the trenches-- a quality that earned it the nickname of "Trench Gun." It saw it's last combat up until Vietnam War in the 60's.
