Codex Techoren: Shotguns

Flechette Shotgun: This short barreled semi automatic shotgun is yet another of the Ninite Corps successes. The Flechette shotgun fires a specific type of slug only produced for this gun, this large fat slug when fired quickly releases a spray of tiny flechette blades into the air in a cone like shape from the barrel of the gun. While only good at short range the thousands of tiny blades shreds light body armor, not to mention those in it, that combined with the easy concealability of this weapon has caused it to see frequent use in the hands of Mob thugs.

Scorpion Equalizer: This high tech, long barreled, pump action, polymetal shotgun possesses a small micro programming computer on its side, and fires specifically designed advanced timer shells. When fired the Equalizer launches a solid slug shell and exactly 1 second later this shell explodes. The micro computer on the side allows alteration of the timing system so shells can be set to explode as little as half second after firing to a full 5 seconds. The explosive nature of the shells when set to the right timing allows what would have been a missed shot to potentially still inflict grievous harm to those near it. This weapon is commonly used by law enforcement tactical squads and civilians with a very poor aim.

Agrav Assaulter: The Agrav Assaulter is an advanced combat shotgun developed by the Agrav Corporation. Constructed of lightweight alloys the inner barrel has a protective friction reducing coating and is a zero gravity environment due to the weapons small anti-grav generator. Capable of fully automatic fire, though with considerable recoil, the Assaulter unlashes a barrage of small pallets down the weapons barrel and launches them at high speeds up to medium range distance, any unarmored target in between is decimated. This weapon is commonly employed by both soldiers and corporations.

Mizzer Incinerator: The Mizzer Inc's short-barreled pump action shotgun is constructed out of heat resistant metal, and powered by an energy cell and gas cartage. When fired a burst of flammable gas is realized into the barrel and blasted out of the gun by a burst of air pressure, at the same time the energy cell super heats the gas so that it flies out of the barrel as a burning yellow comet of fire. Somewhat inaccurate and short ranged the comet novas on impact rapidly burning its targets, due to the weapons nature some types of armor are useless against it and many marines favor this weapon against vicious alien monsters.

Trition Hammer: The Trition Corporation developed this large broad barreled shotgun to give soldiers short-range heavy support firepower. This pump action shotgun was more designed like a mini cannon, and the pump action was used to allow a controlled high intensity charge. When the trigger was depressed it unleashed a large beam of destructive energy straight into its targets. Although an energy weapon it still possesses considerable recoil and the high intensity of the charge quickly empties the energy cell, still it finds regular use in the hands of assault soldiers and law enforcement.

Izar Impaler: The Izar Corp designed the Impaler to be the next generation military shotgun, this was only partly successful, still the weapon gained great popularly as a civilian defense weapon and Mob gangsters quickly acquired these weapons as well. The impaler has a long narrow barrel and is meant for short to medium range combat, it possesses nearly no recoil and is capable of semi automatic fire. The weapon produces intense beams of energy designed to punch a hole straight through their target, despite this the Impaler has a slow rate of fire and a short lasting clip and so was never able to truly pull away form its competition..
