The JS-3T Tactical Shotgun is a pump-action shotgun with an extended magazine tube. It is a two-handed firearm that trains the Aiming skill. It holds seven shells in the tube and one in the chamber, two more than the JS-2000 Shotgun. It attaches to the back slot for quick access and less carried weight.

Each shell fires a spread of pellets that can kill several zombies at once. It kills close zombies in one hit almost regardless of skill. It is a little heavier than the JS-2000. 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

The JS-3T Tactical Shotgun reaches up to 12 tiles. Each hit deals between 1.5 and 2.2 damage. The crit chance starts at 70 percent, and a crit multiplies the damage twelve times. At close range, a hit almost always kills.

The extra two shells mean more shots before a reload. That matters most when a crowd closes in. The spread is tight, so hitting many zombies at once takes a lined-up group. Like every shotgun, it is very loud and draws zombies from far away.

After each shot the shotgun racks itself. If the survivor is interrupted, it has to be racked by hand. It is also a fine way to train Aiming at low levels. The JS-3T is the shotgun of choice for a survivor who wants the most shells between reloads.

Uses

The JS-3T Tactical Shotgun takes attachments with a screwdriver. Ammo Straps speed up reloading. A Red Dot Sight speeds up aiming.

Repair

The JS-3T has 10 condition. Each shot has a 1 in 200 chance of taking a point off. The Aiming and Maintenance skills both lower that chance. Repairing it needs Aiming 2 and another JS-3T, a JS-2000 Shotgun or a Sawed-off JS-2000 for parts. The Aiming skill decides how much is restored and whether the repair succeeds. Each repair makes the next one less likely to succeed. Too many repairs can even lower its condition.
