SPECIAL FEATURES

Shotgun combined with Rail Gun Technology, giving it sniper rifle ranges
Highly Modular
Frame made of Mobius Steel, making it resistant to damage from lightsabers. Engineered to go long times without maintenance in the field or in storage.


STRENGTHS

• Built Mobius Tough: The frame is constructed of Mobius Steel, which gives it great resistance to conventional damage as well as lightsabers. It's been engineered so well that it can go unusually long times
• Punch at any range: A shotgun fitted with railgun tech, these shotguns can send buckshot, flechettes or slug rounds up to 700 meters with very high accuracy (And minimal spread in the case of using buckshot and flechettes due to a special internal mechanism that registers the presence of this type of ammunition, encasing them in a magnetic containment bubble when fired that only starts to weaken when at maximum range causing it to have any real spread at all) and still retain full damage. And it's just as potent at short to medium ranges. It's an all purpose weapon, capable of piercing thick armor, even the armor on vehicles
• Modularity: Can accept scopes, stocks, sights, laser sights, suppressors and multiple varieties of ammo whether in slug, buckshot, or flechettes. Can be fitted with a tripod

WEAKNESSES

• Low Ammo: The ammo count before you need to reload is disappointingly low
• Recoil: High Recoil means you need good control
• Weight: Lugging this around will tire you out. It's the weight of a full sized sniper rifle in the size of a pump action shotgun
• Mobius Steel weaknesses: Its frame as all the weaknesses of Mobius Steel

DESCRIPTION

Mobius Shotguns! Make a Splash! Make Filthy Casuals cry during parrying attempts!

--Sales Pitch


Mobius Shotguns are pump action shotguns fitted with rail gun tech to make sure the Shotgun stays potentially lethal even at absurd ranges. Made for the Mandalorian Empire, Red intends this as an all purpose weapon for Mandalorians who can spare the credits for the shotgun shells.

So one thing I will ask of you. Since this is a shotgun. And it does have spread effect for some of the various shots used. There is a major weakness with all shotguns or spread weapons where the longer the range you are firing, the wider the spread becomes. So is there a way you counteracted this to not have that weakness? If not, then please add to the submission about how spread shot accuracy will drop depending upon range.

Have added details to "Punch at any range to explain why the buckshot has very little spread, Delsin Shaw

Sounds good.
