Chance is for one container opened or one NPC killed. Amount is how many it holds when it holds any. Condition is the state the item comes out in.
A repair bench charges 20% of the recipe to fix a broken item, less when it is only worn. A component in the recipe is charged as the first ingredient of its own recipe instead, or not at all when it has no recipe.

In Rust, Pump Shotgun is a ranged weapon in the Weapons category (item ID #795371088, console shortname shotgun.pump). Loaded with standard 12 Gauge Buckshot, it delivers 210 base impact damage from a 8-round magazine in active combat. Inventory storage holds a single unit per slot, and uncollected ground drops despawn after 40 minutes.
A Shotgun. Fires 8 rounds.
Crafting Pump Shotgun in Rust takes 25 seconds at a Workbench Level 2 once the 60 scrap blueprint node is unlocked, with all ballistics, crafting, and durability values read from the Rust game files. Shredding a spare copy at a green recycler recovers base materials at fifty percent yield (vs forty percent at safe-zone yellow units). Damaged copies repair at a Repair Bench for a fraction of recipe cost.
The Pump Shotgun holds 8 rounds, as does the Revolver.
When choosing between Pump Shotgun and related weapons in Rust, prioritize researching a looted or traded copy at a Research Table (60 scrap) whenever you want to skip the 300-scrap tech tree path and save 240 scrap, or unlock the tech tree branch when your group also needs the prerequisite blueprints.

The Pump Shotgun has 32-bit signed item ID 795371088 and shortname shotgun.pump in Rust. Server plugins, custom loot tables, Vending Machine listings, and automated Industrial Conveyor filter strings reference these two identifiers under the Weapons category (stack limit 1 unit per slot).
Server administrators in Rust spawn the Pump Shotgun in the F1 developer console by typing inventory.give shotgun.pump 1 or inventory.giveid 795371088 1 for a single unit. Both console spawn commands require administrator or moderator privileges on the server, while regular players can bind a quick-craft shortcut key instead.
