Description:
The Spacers shotgun is an elegant solution to needing a mixed bag of tricks and fire-power. Conventional shotguns require rounds loaded in sequence. With a Spacer's shotgun you have a plethora of option depending on which rounds you have loaded.
Vassara designed and created the Shotgun herself. Using four barrels was bit tricky. The upper receiver had to be adapted. A break action was added rather than a magazine or breech, allowing four rounds to be loaded at once. The trigger mechanism was swapped out and replaced with four separate triggers, giving the option to discharge all round simultaneously or just singles.
Strengths
Versatility- Four Barrels with the break action gives the user a unique mix of ammunition options. This allows for them to adapt to whatever situation they find themselves in.
Weaknesses
Break action- The break action of the Shotgun means it must be reloaded by hand. Not an ideal feat for a combat situation. Most likely the user will have to switch to other options should the rounds be depleted in close quarters combat.
