==History==
The gun was originally designed by Hammerforge Industries as a selective-fire close-range firearm, mostly for military use but with some use as a civilian weapon. However, as soon as it entered into production, the firearm was called up by Hammerforge's own technical team as being too high powered for civilian use, an idea that was agreed upon by the designers themselves, which lead to the weapon being used only in military & law enforcement arsenals
==Design & Attributes==
A reasonably heavy automatic shotgun, the S-19 can mount one of two different magazine types, a ten-shot box magazine or a twenty-shot drum magazine. These simply determine how long a soldier can stay in battle without reloading, with the main disadvantage of the drum being the weight, followed by the length of time required to reload. The weapon has a maximum range of roughly 200 meters, although kills are rarely scored further than 20–40 meters away from the wielder. 
Due to the weight of the weapon, a variant designed for airborne troops has been released, the sole alternate design seen. 
==Variants==
===Standard from Manufacturer===
*S-19A - a variant constructed with weight in mind, replacing some of the heavy gunmetal casing with high-strength polymers. However, this adjustment comes at the cost of range, with the shots losing roughly twenty meters of range.
===Customized Examples===

===Custom Variants===
*Prototype MARS Custom - Similar to the -19A, the MARS custom is not made from standard gunmetal, but rather specialized materials for durability and performance, mostly in the form of alloys and high-density polymers. These shotguns are bored to switch between the standard buckshot spread ammunition to a high-powered anti-materiel slug, which is capable of breaking most moderate-strength defences and provide large amounts of damage to a single target. In order to provide higher accuracy and greater stability when firing, the frame is weighted, although this has lead in turn to a higher weight. The standard clip size is expanded to allow for extended periods between reloads, while a specialized regenerative core, similar to the regenerative energy weaponry mounted onto Hammerforge vehicles, provides a third ammunition type in the form of high-powered energy fragments. Needless to say, these prototype weapons are carefully monitored by Hammerforge Industries technicians, both for future MARS orders and also for potential developments in the next generation of shotguns.
===Derived Weapons===
*SP-19 - this Mobian-designed weapon is an interesting position for Hammerforge technicians, due to it's designer having no true connection to them, only a freelance idea. These weapons are roughly half the size of the standard S-19, turning them from shotguns into scatterguns, the pistol-sized equivalent. Designed for special operations officers and G.U.N. agents, these scatterguns function similarly to the S-19, with a semi-automatic firing scheme and reasonable range for the spray. Each pistol is compact enough to be concealed, making it a convenient weapon for a spy or undercover agent to use in a close-in gunbattle. Due to it's small size, recoil was a major issue, so by reducing the overall power of the pistol, the recoil was kept to a manageable level. However, this also lowered the potential range by roughly fifty meters, to 150m, and the effective range to 15-35m. In addition, the ammunition was lowered down to six shots, stored in a similar style to a revolver. This introduces fresh issues when reloading, increasing the required time by a large degree. However, these weapons are designed to be used with ranged support from other agents, allowing for the wielder to take cover while being supported from range by a teammate. Stronger wielders with ample dexterity are capable of wielding one of these weapons in each hand, allowing for a higher temporary rate of fire at the cost of accuracy. In addition, it is compatible with most G.U.N. produced pistol attachments such as silencers and laser sights. Hammerforge Industries has shown a reluctance to offer these firearms, preferring the Col'nesian designed scatterguns and shotpistols in use with the Col'nesian Army, thus limiting these pistols to orders from G.U.N. and a select few mercenary groups who gain weapons from the multidimensional corporation's Mobian foundry.
==Known Users==
*Frederick the Rabbit - a powered armor-clad paratrooper from the G.U.N. Fifth Army Division, Frederick uses the S-19A to devastating effect while in armor, although he prefers his signature weapons, a meat cleaver and a pocket knife, for true one-on-one combat.
*Sid the Foxidna - a young mercenary and the heir to the Blackmane Family's lineage, Sid uses a S-19A in combat due to the lighter weight, with a standard shotgun typically weighing him down over a prolonged battle.
*Reikon - a cyborg ninja who is one of G.U.N's most secret of agents. He is sometimes equiped with an SP-19 Scattergun for close to medium range options.
