Dragonian Shotgun

"I can only see one downside to it, it's length is ridiculous." Grenla Kileao after recieving her standard issue shotgun.
The Dragonian Shotgun is a common firearm among the Dragonian species. It shoots energy in a long bolt form rather than beam form.
==Overview==
The Dragonian Shotgun is a unique form of energy shotgun, requiring both a power core (housed in the cylinder on the right hand side of the weapon) and a priming pump. After a single shot is fired, the slider (or pump action) must be moved to ready the next shot, removing the need for a safety switch. On average, a generic Dragonian power core will provide the weapon with about 6 shots, allowing for relatively rapid fire and comparative performance (in terms of shots fired) to a normal powder fired shotgun of similar size.
In terms of use, the trigger fires, the pump action primes the next round, and the rotatable wooden cylinder on the barrel manually adjusts the 4 secondary barrel's spread.
Due to it's versatility, the Shotgun is a more common weapon among the Dragonian armed forces than rifles.
During the Sera System War, the Shotgun was nearly useless, requiring multiple power cores worth of shots to take down an Androgian whose personal shields had failed. As a result, the Shotgun was used in massive volleys of other Shotgun armed soldiers to quickly strip the Androgian personal shields so that an Infantry Cannon armed soldier could finish them off.
==Firing and Accuracy==
For a shotgun, it is unusually accurate, with minimum spread engaged it can hit targets almost as well as the rifle. It's easy to fire, operating like any typical pump-action shotgun, although it's long barrel and fixed stock make it a bit on the bulky side.
