The Sawed-off Double Barrel Shotgun is a Double Barrel Shotgun with its barrels cut short. It is a two-handed firearm that trains the Aiming skill. It fires shotgun shells and holds two rounds, one in each barrel.

Cutting the barrels makes the gun lighter and easier to carry. The price is range and power: it reaches about 8 tiles against 15 for the full gun, and it hits a little softer. It is made with the Saw Off Shotgun recipe from a Double Barrel Shotgun and a metal saw or small saw. It is never found as loot. 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 Sawed-off Double Barrel Shotgun reaches about 8 tiles. Each hit deals between 1.2 and 1.8 damage. The critical chance starts at 50 percent, and a crit multiplies the damage eight times, so many hits kill outright.

Two shells is a small load. The gun needs a reload after every second shot, which leaves a gap in a fight. It suits short, close fights where one or two blasts clear the way. The Aiming skill raises accuracy and crit chance with each level.

Compared with the full Double Barrel Shotgun, the sawed-off version weighs 3 instead of 4. It also loses range, damage and crit power. The Sawed-off JS-2000 Shotgun holds five shells and reaches further, which makes it the stronger short shotgun for crowds.

Uses


The Sawed-off Double Barrel Shotgun is very good at breaking down doors. Each blow from the gun deals 30 damage to a door. That makes it a quick way into a locked building.

Notes


  • The Saw Off Shotgun recipe needs no skill, and the saw is kept.
  • The same recipe also cuts down a JS-2000 Shotgun.
  • The gun is lighter than the full version, which helps on long trips.
  • Reload after every pair of shots, before the next zombie closes in.
