CH31 Shotgun

The CH31 Shotgun is a 29th century close-range weapon that fires several shells at once and is useful for taking down anything in the proximity of the user. It was designed to defend against hostile wildlife on alien planets, and earlier models were used so extensively to deal with trolls that the series is often nicknamed 'Trollsbane.' For this reason, it is common among first-wave colonists.
Though intended for use against charging animals, the CH31 is just as effective against any humans who might come in close range, and colonists who have turned to crime have been known to wield this weapon or sell it on the black market. This has also made it prevalent in street gangs, especially in the alleys of larger cities where the weapon's limited range is not a problem. The CH31T Combat Shotgun is a variant specifically manufactured for military use.
