Reaver-1216

The Reaver-1216 is a semi automatic shotgun manufactured by NOVA. It fires in a four round burst and uses a sixteen round helical magazine.
== Design ==
Originating from the Panamoan Republic, the Reaver-1216 leverages a distinctive and highly efficient design. At its heart is a rotating four-tube detachable helical magazine, an innovation that sets it apart from conventional shotguns. This magazine not only feeds the shotgun but also serves as the weapon's forearm. The four tubes are mounted around a spindle, enabling the operator to rotate the entire assembly and select any of the four tubes to feed from, effectively creating a fusion of tube and helical magazine designs. With the ability to hold 16 shells in total when all four tubes are filled, the Reaver-1216 is a formidable force in close combat situations.
The shotgun features a fixed buttstock for enhanced stability, ensuring precise and controlled shooting, while the textured pistol grip is thoughtfully integrated into the stock, offering a comfortable and secure hold. The integration of the pistol grip differs from traditional rifle stocks, providing a unique and modern touch.
The Reaver-1216 is also equipped with side rails and a top rail, allowing operators to mount various accessories, customising the shotgun to meet mission-specific requirements. The extended barrel enhances both range and accuracy, making the Reaver-1216 effective in a variety of combat scenarios.
However, due to the unique design of the magazine, attaching a foregrip is not possible, a minor trade-off for the shotgun's immense firepower and innovation.
