Tips and Tricks

• The Semi-auto Shotgun is great for playing on Expert Mode because of its wide spread and above-average magazine capacity.

• Up close, the Semi-Auto shotgun is capable of killing most players and animals in a single shot to the head or torso. However, like all shotguns, the Semi-auto drastically loses power when firing at distant targets.

• The Semi-auto shotgun is one of the best choices for going lone wolf in Gang Hideouts.
• The Semi-auto shotgun is also arguably the best mid-range weapon, as if you shoot a person at mid range they will stagger, giving the player the opportunity to come up close for the kill.

Trivia

• The Semi-auto Shotgun is based upon the Browning Auto-5.
• There were three Gauges made for this weapon; 12, 16, and 20 Gauge.
  • The model in the game is most likely the 12 Gauge.
• The Browning Auto-5 earned the nickname "Humpback" due to the distinctive receiver.
• The Browning Auto-5 was the first mass-produced semiautomatic shotgun. Designed by John Browning in 1898, it was produced continually for almost 100 years by several makers with production ending in 1998.
• The Browning Auto 5 has a 4-round tubular magazine, and an additional shell in the chamber.
