Shotguns

Shotguns are a weapons class appearing in Red Dead Revolver and Red Dead Redemption that are capable of very high stopping power at close ranges.

Description
Shotguns use different types of ammo when compared to other weapons, firing a multitude of pellets instead of a single round, increasing the chance of hitting an enemy on the run or hitting multiple enemies. This system limits the effective weapon range of most shotguns to close quarters combat. Most shotguns use a type of cocking system, manually ejecting the shell out of the weapon every time it is fired. This severely slows down the firing speed of these weapon types. However, some shotguns automatically eject shells, firing every time the trigger is pulled. These weapons are easily the most powerful weapons one can use when engaging multiple enemies at close range. Shotguns use Shotgun Ammo.

With their very reduced effective range and their low capacity, using dead-eye targetting at longer ranges is useless.
