Bouncer Shotgun

Description
The Bouncer Shotgun is a pickup weapon that feeds from the red ammo pool. It is a bullpup shotgun with pop-up sights and a forward grip. It feeds from a brown box magazine. It has "BSG-3" printed on the side, along with the serial number 42718-1.

Mechanics
The bouncer shotgun, or BSG-3, is a semi-automatic shotgun that fires from a five-round magazine. As the name implies, the pellets it fires will bounce off of walls. A pellet will bounce a total of two times before the next impact destroys it. Pellets will not bounce off of enemies. The shotgun contains a row of lights along the top of its frame that indicate how many rounds remain in the current magazine. Like most magazine-fed weapons, ejecting a partially-loaded magazine will cause you to lose the rounds in that magazine.

Tactics
The BSG-3 is a reliable primary weapon, and is deadly at close range as one would expect from a shotgun. Being a shotgun, it is of limited effectiveness at range, but can be extremely effective at clearing crowded rooms due to its projectiles bouncing off of walls. Pellets that miss the target on the initial volley can rebound off of a wall and strike the target from behind. This also makes it effective at blind-firing, as you can deflect the pellets off of walls, ceilings, and floors in rapid succession to fill a room with multiple bouncing projectiles.
