The Gnasher Shotgun was a short-barreled, lever-action military shotgun that is commonly deployed by the Alliance of Nations. It was relatively small and easy to aim, making it exceptionally useful for close quarters combat, and was a reliable and rugged weapon. As a shotgun, the Gnasher fired 12-gauge buckshot rounds, with nine pellets per shell - this resulted in a spray of shot over a cone-shaped trajectory; because of this, the Gnasher was not particularly difficult to aim and was often capable of taking down man-sized targets in a single shot. The Gnasher also has long, lethal range for a shotgun, capable of inflicting (albeit minimal) harm to targets up to 8 meters away,[1] but the shot will go further.
