The Shotgun is your basic shotgun, of course.  Average attack power, good spread.  Unfortunately, it tends to be slower than other weapons.  Good for knocking ganados off their feet.  The Exclusive upgrade for the Shotgun allows it to do full damage from any range.  You can pick up a free shotgun off the wall of the trap house, in Chapter 1-1 - and you will need it, to fend off the chainsaw ganado.

The Riot Gun is a very, very slight improvement on the Shotgun.  Larger clip size, same spread, slightly greater attack power (unless you fully upgrade both weapons, but then don't get the Exclusive upgrade on the Riot Gun).  It has a unique trait in that it actually aims slightly faster than other weapons (this is what "easy to handle" means).  You may buy the Riot Gun when you enter the Castle.

An automatic, drum-fed shotgun.  The Striker is, in essence, the best of all worlds - highest attack power, highest refire rate, fastest reload, and a relatively massive clip.  The Exclusive upgrade for this weapon is a 100 round magazine - perfect for those huge crowds.  The striker has a 5x2 inventory footprint.  You may buy the Striker when you are partway through the Island.

Only available from the Merchant after the game has been completed once, the Matilda takes on the form of a HK VP70 with attached stock (used previously by Leon in Resident Evil 2). While it hardly makes for an essential purchase, the Matilda has the ability to fire off three 9mm rounds at once - meaning that your enemies can be felled in a third of the time. However, some gamers find that it really does nothing but eat up ammunition three times as fast.
