Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier Guide Essentials Weapons
Shotguns
Shotguns
This smoothbore firearm fires multiple projectiles in a doughnut spread pattern. Because of the spread and the power of the charge being divided among the pellets, this firearm is particularly lethal in close quarters. During long-range engagements, shotguns are less effective.
