==== Shotguns ====
Shotguns are shoulder-fired firearms that fire shells containing several small spherical pellets or a single solid projectile. DayZ Standalone has two types of shotgun loading mechanisms, double barreled and pump-action. Currently buckshot is the only available shell for shotguns. These weapons are very lethal at close range and can instantly kill infected and player alike. Players who aren't instantly killed will likely have most of the equipment they are wearing ruined and rendered unusable. They are, however, quite loud and can attract attention from very far away. They also have slower loading mechanisms and are not as effective at ranges greater than 100 meters, meaning the user will need to get close and pick their shot well in order to be effective.
