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 spread of pellets instead of a single projectile, increasing the chance of hitting an enemy on the run or for hitting multiple enemies. This system limits the effective weapon range of most shotguns to close quarters combat.
Some shotguns use some type of manual action to eject and chamber shells, such as the pump action, but are slightly slower to fire. There are break-action shotguns that can fire somewhat faster than a pump action since the shells are already in the breech, but usually hold fewer shells because the number of shells is reliant on the number of barrels, which is usually two at most. However, some shotguns use recoil or gas to automatically eject and chamber shells, firing every time the trigger is pulled. Most shotguns are loaded one shell at a time, either into the breach or shell loading port. Shotguns use Shotgun Ammo.
Using Dead-Eye Targeting can eliminate several enemies at close range in a short amount of time, but it's main use is to mark enemies at further range, as Dead-Eye seems to increase the range of shotguns, but not enough to make them compare to repeaters or rifles.
