The Double Barrel Shotgun is a two-handed shotgun that fires Shotgun Shells. It trains the Aiming skill. It holds two shells, one in each barrel, and each shot throws a spread of pellets.
One shot can wound or kill several zombies standing close together. The gun kills most zombies in one or two shots, even with a low Aiming level. That makes it a forgiving firearm for a survivor who has not trained Aiming. The price is a tiny capacity and a very loud bang. The Double Barrel Shotgun is a rare find in homes, most often in garage storage, closets and attics. The Police Officer is the best occupation for firearms. It starts with the most Aiming skill. The Veteran also starts with some Aiming skill.
Combat
Each hit deals between 1.5 and 2.2 damage, and the gun reaches 15 tiles. The spread is narrower than the JS-2000 Shotgun's spread, so the shot stays tighter down a hallway or an alley. The closer the target stands, the higher the chance of a crit.
Two shells run out fast. Reloading is quick, and loose shells go straight into the barrels from the inventory. The gun works best when a few zombies bunch up in a choke point such as a doorway or a corridor.
The shot is one of the loudest sounds in the game. Zombies hear it from up to about 100 tiles away, so every shot pulls in more of them. That noise can also lure a crowd away from an area on purpose.
The Aiming skill improves accuracy as it levels. The JS-2000 Shotgun holds more shells and suits a longer fight. The Double Barrel Shotgun is the better pick for a low-skill survivor who needs a few sure kills.
Uses
The shotgun attaches to the back slot, which keeps it within reach and lowers the carried weight. A metal saw or a small saw cuts the barrels down to make a Sawed-off Double Barrel Shotgun. A screwdriver fits attachments to it. A Choke Tube - Full or a Choke Tube - Improved tightens the spread and adds range. A Recoil Pad shortens the delay between shots. Ammo Straps speed up reloading.

Repair
The Double Barrel Shotgun has 10 condition, and each shot has only a 1 in 200 chance of taking a point off. The Aiming skill lowers that chance further. A second Double Barrel Shotgun serves as parts to repair the first, and the repair needs Aiming 2. A higher Aiming level restores more condition and makes success more likely. Every repair restores less condition than the one before it.
Locations
The Double Barrel Shotgun is a rare find in ordinary homes. Garage storage gives the best odds. Closets come next, both loose and in lockers. Attic boxes and crates, halls and living room lockers hold one now and then. Bedroom wardrobes, storage units and occupied motel rooms carry only a tiny chance.

Notes
- The two barrels fire one after the other with a short delay, like the pump-action JS-2000.
- Shells can stay anywhere in the inventory for a reload.
- The shotgun competes for the back slot with a long melee weapon.
- Firing in a town draws zombies from blocks away, so keep an escape route ready.
- The metal marking on the side of the gun reads "LEMMY", a nod to one of the game's developers.
