Double Barrel Shotgun
Ranged weapon,Rare,Blueprint
The Double Barrel Shotgun fires Handmade Shells and three other ammo types from a 2-round magazine and takes two attachments at once.
Damage is one body hit up close, with no armour. A headshot multiplies it against players only. Damage per second empties one magazine and counts the reload. Velocity and spread are applied locally by your game client, while the server bounds their limits.
