==Also Called==
*Scattergun Aptitude/Expertise/Intuition/Mastery/Proficiency/Skill/Specialism/Talent
*Shotgun Aptitude/Expertise/Intuition/Mastery/Skill/Specialism/Talent
==Capabilities==
Users are able to demonstrate great skill and efficiency in the usage of shotguns, long-barreled firearms designed to shoot straight-walled cartridges known as shotshells, which usually discharges numerous small pellet-like spherical sub-projectiles called shot, or sometimes single solid projectiles called slugs.
==Applications==
*Shot/Slug Projection
**Shot/Slug Attacks
***Multi-Shot
****Shot/Slug Hell with an automatic shotgun (if enough bullets).
***Scatter Shot via birdshot and/or buckshot.
**Dragon's Breath Shot Projection
*Enhanced Accuracy via slugs.
*Enhanced Precision
*Peak Human Accuracy via birdshot and/or buckshot.
*Targeting
**Peak Human/Enhanced Vision
==Variations==
*Automatic Shotgun: An automatic firearm that fires shotgun shells (thereby making it a shotgun) and uses some of the energy of each shot to automatically cycle the action and load a new round. It will fire repeatedly until the trigger is released or ammunition runs out.
*Break-Action Shotgun: A breechloading shotgun, only allowing a single shot to be fired.
**Double-Barreled Shotgun: A break-action shotgun with two parallel barrels, allowing two single shots to be fired in quick succession or simultaneously.
*Lever-Action Shotgun: Early attempts at repeating shotguns invariably centered around either bolt-action or lever-action designs, drawing obvious inspiration from the repeating rifles of the time.
*Pump-Action Shotgun: The most commonly seen pump-action firearms. These shotguns typically use a tubular magazine underneath the gun barrel to hold the shells.
*Semi-Automatic Shotgun: A repeating shotgun with a semi-automatic action, i.e. capable of automatically chambering a new shell after each firing, but requires individual trigger-pull to manually actuate each shot.
===Others===
*Sawed-Off Shotgun/Boom Stick: A type of shotgun with a shorter gun barrel—typically under 18 inches (46 cm)—and often a shortened or absent stock.
==Associations==
*Blunderbuss Proficiency; predecessor
*Enhanced Gunmanship
*Ranged Weapon Proficiency
*Trick Bullet Proficiency
==Limitations==
*Poor accuracy compared to many other firearms, especially at long range when using birdshot and/or buckshot.
*Prone to recoil, which without proper skill or training can cause injury to the user.
*Poor armor penetration compared to other firearms, mainly when using birdshot and/or buckshot.
*May take some time to achieve mastery.
