== The ZX-76 Shotgun ==
The ZX-76 Shotgun is a double barrel, magazine fed, pump action shotgun chambered in 12 Gauge. Canonically, it is manufactured by the Weyland-Yutani Corporation, but is primarily used by the United States Colonial Marine Corps.
== Overview ==
The ZX-76 Shotgun is a pump action shotgun feeding from an 8-round detachable magazine along with incorporating an unusual double-barreled design; where every shot fired discharges both barrels. It is effective up to 100 yards, an instant-kill if fired center mass on an enemy target.
It is a very effective firearm in close quarters or for charging enemies, and is capable of doing minimal damage at a certain distance. Each magazine holds eight shells.
The ZX-76 is featured in the Corpsman class along with the M240 Incinerator Unit, M41A Pulse Rifle and M37A2 Pump Action Shotgun.
Currently issued models to the Colonial Marines are provided with 'dragons breath' incendiary shotgun shells.
== Trivia ==
-Canonically, this shotgun is capable of firing each barrel once at a time, but in the case of the marines stationed at Arachthos, all ZX-76 shotguns fire both barrels with every trigger pull, resulting in being able to fire four shots before needing to reload. It also BURNS the enemy to a blackened charred crisp corpse. 
-You can find this shotgun under the desk of Master Sergeant TostitosYTaquitos, right next to his trusty foil. Update: these illegal weapons systems have since been confiscated.
