Shotgun

"There are few weapons that offer the comfort and familiarity of a shotgun. Built for close quarters combat, they provide immediate, violent conflict resolution."

Trivia

 * Many shotguns make use of six o'clock hold iron sights, where a target is sighted just above the barrel of the weapon instead of through a pair of points mounted on top of the barrel, as in other iron sights.
 * For gameplay reasons, the low effective range and pellet spread of shotguns in Destiny is greatly exaggerated compared to reality, as a real shotgun would need to have a comically short barrel to come anywhere close to the range and spread of shotguns in-game.
 * Some shotguns in Destiny 1 like Matador 64 and Party Crasher +1 have their gauge printed on the side, above the trigger.
 * They both take 12 Gauge shells.
