.700 Nitro

Appearing in Far Cry 4, the .700 Nitro is a high-powered side-by-side shotgun used for hunting dangerous game.
== .700 Nitro ==
The standard version, the .700 Nitro is a side-by-side hunting rifle found in Far Cry 4.
The .700 Nitro is unlocked for purchase by completing the mission City of Pain. It can be purchased for a whopping 75,750, or unlocked for free by Longinus by liberating 15 Bell Towers. Since there are just 10 Bell Towers in southern Kyrat, this require reaching northern Kyrat, specifically, require completing the mission A Key to the North.
Immensely powerful, and able to drop bodies - be they animal or humanoid - the .700 Nitro is capable of laying down carnage; however, the damage is offset by the two round capacity, as reloading at close- or medium-range when engaged with alerted targets can likely lead to the user being mowed down by faster and rapid small-arms fire.

==Trivia==
*Nitro Express rifles are named for the composition of their early smokeless gunpowder.
*It is the only non explosive weapon in the game that can reliably one shot a Honey Badger while keeping the pelt intact.
*The weapon uses sniper ammunition, and is incredibly loud; this makes stealth with the weapon difficult to the point of near impossibility. To compensate for this, it has high accuracy and damage.
*The real-world term "Elephant Gun" is used for any of a number of high caliber weapons used for hunting animals that are classified as either "big game" or "dangerous game" creatures. The power of the round and weapon is justified as the animal needs to be subdued quickly, as enraging the animal by wounding it would likely mean serious injury - or even death - for the hunter.
*Owing to the weapon's power, the gun can kill animals such as Elephants and Rhinos with one well-placed shot to the head.2014 November 21, YouTube: Far Cry 4 - Elephant Gun Hunting. Retrieved 2018 September 6.
