About the "Coach Gun"
A Coach Gun is a double-barreled shotgun, generally with barrels approximately 18" in length placed side-by-side. The name comes from the use of such shotguns on stagecoaches by shotgun messengers in the American Wild West and during the Colonial period of Australia. Only a Few guns evoke the Old West as much as the classic hammer coach gun. While Colts were winning gunfights, shotguns were preventing them. Even at 10 paces, a man had a fair chance at either missing or being missed with a .45, and many gambled accordingly. On the other hand, nobody drunk or sober wanted to tempt Fate by facing a loaded Coach Gun.
In Fistful of Frags
The marmite in the Fistful of Frags world, you either love it or hate it and that usually translates to whether or not you're holding it. The Coach Gun is extremely powerful and has the highest burst damage at close range dealing 60 damage to the chest. To counter this, there is huge recoil and the gun takes ages to get it's 75% accuracy back after running (you will also only get 1% accuracy while running). It also only rewards +6 Notoriety for each kill. An annoying aspect of the Coach Gun is that people can "Coach Gun camp". This is when someone stays in an area of high traffic and blasts both barrels as soon as they see someone. Couple that with a nifty 3 second reload time and you have yourself a mean weapon. You can find the Coach Gun in the Red Chest.
