Overview
A Shotgun with two barrels allowing two shots to be fired in quick succession before needing to reload.
On the first evening of a wipe, the double barrel is what wins the fight at your neighbour's door. A Level 1 workbench and a couple of pipes get you two shots that drop a lightly geared player up close, and the gun is cheap enough to lose.
Load buckshot once you can make it. Both barrels go off quickly, and then you stand there through a long reload. That reload is why it pairs well with a longer-reaching sidearm like the revolver: shotgun for the doorway, revolver for whoever runs away.
It beats the waterpipe because you are not betting everything on one shell. Against a single player it is usually better value than the pump shotgun too. The pump earns its price when several people come through the same door, like during a raid defence or a fight over a supply drop.
Slugs make it passable at mid range, but if you are aiming at someone across a field you brought the wrong weapon.
