With high per-shot damage, excellent accuracy (technically beating the [[bolt-action rifle]]), and decent firerate, the pump shotgun is a powerful weapon. The pump shotgun also has an amazing [[stopping power]], able to stagger every pawn kind except the {{#ask: [[Body Size::>3.00001]] [[Name::!Tunneler]] | format = template | template = DLC Icons | link = none | sort = From DLC, Name | sep = , }}. But, as a shotgun, its range is lacking. Even hand-thrown [[pila]] out-range a pump shotgun, let alone low-tier firearms such as the [[revolver]]. Armor penetration is also quite poor, being in a similar league to the [[autopistol]] and [[greatbow]]. | With high per-shot damage, excellent accuracy (technically beating the [[bolt-action rifle]]), and decent firerate, the pump shotgun is a powerful weapon.

Overall damage output falls behind cheaper burst-firing weapons such as the [[machine pistol]], though the shotgun gains an slight advantage towards maximum range. As it fires a single shot, pump shotguns are more likely to destroy/severely damage limbs and organs. [[Chain shotgun]]s are an overall upgrade, with a much higher {{DPS}} due to its 3-shot burst. |
