== Design ==
Crafted with MILITECH's renowned high-strength polymer and reinforced titanium alloy, the Haymaker-01 inherits the rugged and battle-ready design of its predecessor, the Haymaker-00. The shotgun's futuristic aesthetic is matched by its durability, ensuring optimal performance in the harshest environments. The ergonomic design prioritizes ease of handling and control, allowing operators to navigate close-quarters combat with precision.
A defining feature of the Haymaker-01 is its full-auto capability, boasting a cyclic rate of fire optimized for close combat situations. While capable of delivering a rapid barrage of firepower, the shotgun can also be fired in semi-auto mode for deliberate and controlled engagements. This flexibility ensures that operators can adapt their approach based on the intensity of the threat. The Haymaker-01's adaptability is further exemplified by its compatibility with drum magazines. These high-capacity magazines enable extended periods of sustained fire, making the shotgun ideal for close-quarters battles and engaging multiple targets. Whether providing rapid suppression or overwhelming force, the Haymaker-01 excels in scenarios where sustained firepower is paramount.
To enhance its close-quarters effectiveness, the Haymaker-01 is equipped to handle Dragon's Breath rounds. These incendiary shells create a spectacular and deadly display upon impact, delivering both physical damage and psychological deterrence on the battlefield. The Haymaker-01's versatility extends to its compatibility with various shotgun rounds, including buckshot, slugs, and breaching rounds. This allows operators to tailor their loadout to meet the specific challenges of each mission, ensuring the shotgun remains a versatile and adaptive tool in the arsenal of military forces.
