Sawed-Off Shotgun

"A trusty companion if ever there was one. It doesn't have great range, but it packs a hell of a wallop up close. Can be fired either a barrel at a time or both at once for extra damage."

- Blood manual.

The  (or short-barrel shotgun) is a weapon from Blood and Blood II: The Chosen. It is first found in the first episode The Way of All Flesh, around the second level Wrong Side of the Tracks, but can be picked up in the previous level from a Cultist. The weapon comes loaded with 8 shells. Ammo can be found as bunches of 4 shells or boxes of 15 shells.

Usage
When fired, the shotgun delivers a single shot. It can fire up to two shots in quick succession, before Caleb needs to reload. This allows a slight stun lock with the shots. With alternate fire-mode, Caleb fires both shells at once before reloading, which makes for a greater damaging shot.

The damage delivered by the shotgun is determined by how far the player is from an enemy, due to the shotgun blast's accuracy. More damage is done very close (along with a slight push) and little to no damage is done from far away. Occasionally it can inflict damage or more than one enemy if the angle is correct.

Trivia

 * The Sawed-Off Shotgun is inspired by the gun the main protagonist use from the horror film Evil Dead.
 * This weapon is wielded by the Cultists, who for some reason have a quicker reload time than Caleb.
