Shotgun

Description
A shotgun is a two-handed firearm. Unless you're a real bad-ass, in which case you can sling it around and reload it with one arm. Sometimes referred to as a boomstick. It is a short range weapon that packs a lot of firepower and is ideal for blasting the shit out of zombies. It is not recommended as a long range weapon. In such cases where targeting from a distance is required, a high powered rifle makes for a more efficient weapon.

In the Evil Dead film series, Ash Williams makes use of a modified sawed-off shotgun which he uses to fight the Army of Darkness.
