Automatic shotgun

Automatic shotgun ammunition choices are slightly limited because the fired shot must provide sufficient recoil energy to reliably cycle the action.

[4] A standard shotgun shot fires multiple small projectiles at once, increasing the chances of hitting the target.

[5] Long-barreled guns as long pump action shotguns are more accurate and have increased range, which is ideal for hunting and sporting purposes.

Automatic weapons are also more susceptible to jamming[8] and negative effects from dirtiness[citation needed].

They typically have a high rate of fire and relatively low recoil, making them ideal for engaging targets in a fast-paced, close range combat situation.
