SHITS STILL GONE
The shotguns are a special group of weapons. Most players can either use shotguns properly, or they can't. Correct use of a shotgun entails precise timing (not necessarily good aim) about when to shoot, especially with the pump-action M3 super 90, as mis-timing of a shot can mean death due to pumping time. Reload sooner as opposed to later.  With the shotguns each round is reloaded individually, and you can fire to interrupt the reload.
 
===M3 super 90===

* '''Price''': $1700
* '''Country of origin''': Italy
* '''Caliber''': 12 gauge
* '''Magazine capacity''': 8 rounds
* '''Rate of fire''': 68 RPM
* '''Weight (loaded)''': 3.5kg
* '''Projectile weight''': 3.8g/pellet
* '''Muzzle velocity''': 1250 feet/second
* '''Muzzle energy''': 2429 joules
 
The M3 Super 90 is an incredibly powerful weapon, but has a long pump and reload time. One shot to the head or even a close shot to the body, with most or all of the BBs connecting, will be fatal, but mis-timing the shot will mean you have to evade their fire until you've pumped for the next shot. The M3 Super 90 works considerably better at close range, but some people have been known to snipe with one. In either case the BBs the gun puts out always have the off chance of striking a foe in the head, doing near-fatal damage each.
 
For the price, this is one of the best buys in the game, but only in the hands of someone who knows how to use it. It can be something of an equalizer against a better-financed team when money is tight. In a panicked close-range fight it can sustain its low rate of fire for a long time and a reduced rate of fire after that.

===XM1014===

* '''Price''': $3000
* '''Country of origin''': Italy
* '''Caliber''': 12 gauge
* '''Magazine capacity''': 7 rounds
* '''Rate of fire''': 400 RPM
* '''Weight (loaded)''': 4kg
* '''Projectile weight''': 3.8g/pellet
* '''Muzzle velocity''': 1250 feet/second
* '''Muzzle energy''': 2429 joules
 
The XM1014 is an auto-shotgun, meaning it doesn't have the pump time of the M3 super 90. It allows you to fire off all 7 rounds in two seconds or less, and can be effective against a mass of enemies. However, it is somewhat less powerful than the M3 Super 90, so at least two and often more shots will be required to kill somebody. It is also almost double the price of the M3 Super 90 and considerably heavier. For the CTs, $100 more will buy the far more versatile M4 Carbine. Probably the single worst buy in the game for the price, this shotgun, though often scorned by those killed by it as a "noob cannon", "noob stick", "noob shotty", is actually not that effective in almost anyone's hands.
 
This is pretty obvious, but the bots' behavior is quite strange, since they shoot, load, shoot, load, etc. This increases the accuracy of the gun by taking out the recoil, so do that if you are stuck with a group of people, with no where to run. At least you won't waste any ammunition if you die.
