Double-Barreled Shotgun

Description
The Double-Barreled Shotgun is a pickup weapon that feeds from the red ammo pool. It is a break-action, double-barreled shotgun with a twin-blade sight. It is a break-action weapon that holds two rounds at a time.

Mechanics
The double-barreled shotgun inflicts more damage per pellet than the other shotgun in COMPOUND, the Bouncer Shotgun, making it more powerful at close range. A single blast from the double-barreled shotgun is powerful enough to one-shot a Tank Bot at point-blank range. Like most break-action weapons, hitting the eject button will not eject any unfired rounds. This allows you to reload the shotgun when only one barrel has been fired.

Tactics
As one would expect, shotguns are best used at close range where you can land multiple pellets on a single target. The double-barreled shotgun is powerful enough, however, that it can also deal good damage to clustered enemies at medium range, especially humanoid targets. Given its power and ability to kill many weaker targets in a single shot, a good tactic is to reload after every shot is fired, reserving the second shell for instances where the first one didn't get the job done.
