Trench shotgun

trench shotgun is a ranged item in item asylum. It is a Winchester Model 1912 trench shotgun with a bayonet attached.
== Functionality ==
Upon use, the user fires 8 hitscan pellets in a wide spread at their point of aim, each dealing 10 damage on bodyshot or 12 damage on headshot. The shotgun must be cycled after every shot. trench shotgun has an 8-round tube, and reloads shells individually. Enemies killed by trench shotgun's pellets are knocked back with weak force.
Pellet damage falloff begins at 20 studs of distance, decreasing damage by 1.33% per stud down to a minimum of 33% damage at 50 studs of distance.
=== Thrust (E) ===
The user can thrust the bayonet on the trench shotgun by pressing E. This causes the user to lower the gun to their waist before jabbing the entire gun a short distance in front of them. It deals 20 damage and inflicts bleeding for one second while also knocking back and ragdolling victims, dealing 28-32 damage in total. 
== Tips ==
* Like most other shotgun items, get close enough to land most of the spread. Otherwise, the spread of projectiles will either deal low damage, or entirely miss.
* Thrust can be used to punish melee users who get too close to you.
** It could even stunlock the opponent due to the knockback being so low.
** You are able to "cancel" a thrust via unequipping, if you unequip trench shotgun right after hitting an enemy and repeat, you have close to a perfect stunlock, with the side bonus of dealing high dps.
* This shotgun cannot be 'pocket reloaded' as it reloads one shell at a time.
** While you can't shoot to cancel the reloading, you can de-equip the gun and re-equip it to cancel early and keep shooting. 
* Trench shotgun, when all ammo is expended, has one of the longest reload times of any ranged item in the game. Expend ammo carefully, or you may find yourself in a situation with no ammo.

== Trivia ==
* This item's tooltip references how the German government unsuccessfully tried to outlaw the American M12 trench shotgun due to its incredible lethality in combat during WW1, along with the rules of the Hague Convention but the U.S. did not ratify it.
** The double pump kit having the 0.992x multiplier allows both trench shotguns to always deal 19.84 damage using the E ability, referencing the 1984 meme.
* This item and silly gas are referenced in one of the loading screen tips.
