Shotgun

From Resident Evil Wiki

The Shotgun is a powerful gun found in most Resident Evil games. It can cause considerable damage to tightly grouped enemies. The shotgun varies in power with each game but is always one of the most versatile weapons in any players arsenal, capable of knocking over large enemies while mutilating softer targets like zombies

The only two drawbacks to these kinds of weapons are:

1. its utility decreases drastically as distance increases,
2. most shotguns require the user to work the action manually to chamber each round, thus severely lowering its rate of fire.

Although the exact amount of violence incurred varies by game, the shotgun has been seen capable of blowing off heads, blasting out kneecaps, destroying torsos or even slicing entire bodies in half. It is loaded with Shotgun Shells.
