Shotguns
Baikal MP-155K
Added in the firearms drop in Update #59's ninth alpha build, the Baikal MP-155K (a semi-automatic, magazine-fed sporting shotgun of Russian origin) makes its first documented media appearance in H3VR .

Error creating thumbnail: File missing Pausing to admire the shotgun's black, shiny polymer components.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing The other side of the MP-155K; the markings simply read "MP-155K" in the segment closer to this text, and "12x76" in the segment closer to the ejection port (the latter is a caliber designation; it denotes shells 12 gauge in diameter and 76 millimeters in length, or 3" for those on the other side of the anywhere).
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Aiming; the small, high-mounted rear aperture seems more at home on a rifle than a shotgun. At least it's good for slugs.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Firing a shell.
Benelli M4 Super 90
The Benelli M4 Super 90 is one of the available shotguns in-game; it was added in Update #6, along with the FABARM Martial .

Error creating thumbnail: File missing Out on a woods walk, Hick-not45 loads up his M4 Super 90.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing Smoking some pots.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Satisfied, Hick-not45 lowers his Benelli, giving the viewers at home a good look at the 4-shot magazine tube; this is at odds with its in-game 7+1 capacity.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Meanwhile, in a far less inviting-looking shooting range, another M4 sits on a table.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Locking back the shotgun's bolt...

Error creating thumbnail: File missing Collapsing the stock.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Admiring the now-smaller shotgun - or, at least, attempting to, as the weapon's eye-searingly reflective finish makes looking at it with this lighting for any substantial period of time a rather painful endeavor.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Blasting away a blue circle. This is the older version of the Modular Range, which would later evolve into the M.E.A.T.S. range; the former was far simpler than the latter, having only 2 types of targets (at this stage of development): blue point targets, and red penalty targets.
Beretta DT11
The Beretta DT11 is one of the 4 shotguns added in Update #15. Following Update #46, 2 new variants were added - one with a shortened set of barrels, and one with further-shortened barrels and a cut-down stock.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Beretta DT11 - 12 gauge
Error creating thumbnail: File missing It was at this moment that he realized that an indoor range is not a good place to bring a trap shooting shotgun.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Deciding to just roll with it, he opens up the DT11...
Error creating thumbnail: File missing ...and further fails to understand its intended purpose.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Having given his DT11 two shells full of buckshot, he then closes it up.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Aiming; this being a competition skeet gun, it has nothing but a front bead sight.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Firing off a shot; the red lines in the air are the game's optional bullet trails.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing He then admires his DT11, whilst trying to ignore the ricochet that has seemingly lodged itself in his leg.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Dropping the spent shells out of the DT11.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing A table full of (almost) all of Update #46's shortened weapon variants.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Finding the full-length version too long and awkward for indoor use, he tries out a shorter version. Note that, despite the barrels being ostensibly sawn down, they still have choke tubes installed.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Loading the shortened DT11 up with some shells.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Sawing off a beautiful shotgun like this should be a crime. And it is. No, seriously.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Fortunately, since nobody knows who "He" is, He can't get arrested by the BATFS (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Sausages).
Heckler & Koch FABARM Martial Pro Forces
The H&K FABARM Martial Pro Forces is one of the available firearms in-game. It was the game's first pump-action shotgun, and is tied with the Benelli M4 Super 90 for the game's first 12-gauge shotgun, both having been added in Update #6.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing ...and the new one being chambered. Note the green color of the shell; the current build of H3 doesn't contain any green shells, but these screenshots predate the addition of multiple types of shotgun ammunition in Update #15.
Franchi SPAS-12
The Franchi SPAS-12 is one of the available firearms in-game, added in Update #24. 2 variants are available - a standard model with a folding stock, and a stockless model with a rail system and spare shell holder. Highly unusually for a video game, the SPAS-12's dual-mode semi-auto/pump-action functionality is depicted in H3 , even more unusually with its intended purpose being exploitable (i.e. switching between semi-auto for high-pressure shells and pump-action for low-pressure ones). Unfortunately, however, the switching is performed by a simple touchpad button press on the forward hand's controller, with the pump not ever visibly moving to reflect the change in mode (always being shown in the correct position for pump-action fire, and never moving forward to switch to semi-auto); furthermore, the weapon's loading procedure is simplified, with the real weapon's requirement to hold down the bolt release in order to load shells into the magazine tube being omitted in-game.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing Well, the shotgun's right here, but where is Sarah Connor? .
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Well, she's not there.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Nope, not under there either.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing She sure is good at hiding. Well, such is to be expected. After all, Sarah is quite a clever girl.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing Well, it might be the T-800's gun, but that right there is his target's technique.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing You might ask why someone would shove a magnifier on a shotgun. The answer? Because we can. And because we can, we have to.
"KWG1"
The "KWG1" is one of the available firearms in-game, added through Update #15. It is a fictional magazine-fed full-auto shotgun, rather reminiscent of the "Bolter" weapons from the Warhammer 40K universe. It is based on an image of what seems to be some sort of stage or cosplay prop, which was then adapted into a 3D model by artist Pavel Kutejnikov .
The prop that the "KWG1" was based upon, which seems to have an MP5 S-E-F trigger pack. Also note the shells in the magazine; the length of the brass, the plastic-like gloss across them, and the manner in which they are stacked (parallel to each other, which wouldn't be possible with actual shotgun shells due to their rims) all point towards this being a prop, rather than an actual live-firing shotgun.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing After several hours of cutting, welding, and riveting, the work finally bears fruit.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Loading some "SWAG-12" high-explosive shells (an obvious play on the real-world FRAG-12 explosive shells) into one of the KWG1's distinctive windowed magazines. Said magazines seem to be suffering from a critical lack of springs.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Several shells later, it's time to load in the magazine...
Error creating thumbnail: File missing ...chamber a round...
Error creating thumbnail: File missing ...and purge the realm of heretics in the name of the Emperor.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing After a change of place, and a change of time, the KWG1's well-worn finish shines in the light of the (earlier version of the) item spawner.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Loading in another magazine, this time filled with a suitably patriotic handload: "Freedomfetti" shells.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing These do exactly what you'd expect. While it's sadly not something that can be expressed through the medium of an image, firing one of these shells produces a sound like that of a paper party horn.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Back in the indoor range, our discount Space Marine prepares to screw a suppressor onto his KWG1, which demonstrates one of H3' s interesting gameplay-oriented features:
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Universal suppressor compatibility. A suppressor can shrink or expand to fit any weapon, from the diminutive Beretta Jetfire to the colossal Barrett M107A1 .
Mossberg 590A1
The Mossberg 590A1 is one of the four shotguns added in Update #15, and the second pump-action shotgun added to H3 on the whole.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Mossberg 590 with ghost ring sights, bayonet lug, and Speedfeed stock - 12 gauge
Error creating thumbnail: File missing The 590A1 attempts to back away from the horror that is the KWG1; being an inanimate object, this proves somewhat futile.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing Ejecting the spent-but-apparently-not-actually-fired shell.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing On a sidenote, the 590A1 in-game is modeled with a Speedfeed stock.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Said stock is actually fully-functional; here, the wielder has decided to drop in a flechette shell.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing What's that old saying? "If you love something, let it go"?
MPS AA-12 CQB
Update #55 added the much-demanded MPS AA-12 shotgun, specifically the short-barreled "CQB" model.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing MPS AA-12 CQB - 12 gauge
Error creating thumbnail: File missing "Ladies and gentlemen, the moment you have all been waiting for..."
Error creating thumbnail: File missing "...the AAAAH MY EYES!"
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Loading in a magazine at an angle that, if nothing else, can at least be excused by temporary blindness.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Locking back the bolt.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Taking aim; the sights aren't terribly precise, but then again, it is a fully-automatic shotgun. "Precise" isn't a word that would be used to describe it.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Blasting a target with 8 shells' worth of buckshot.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Of course, if 8 shells isn't enough...
Error creating thumbnail: File missing ...then 20 shells should be.
MTs255
The MTs255 revolving shotgun was added to the game in the first Meatmas update. 2 variants are available - a standard full-length version, and a version with a sawn-off barrel and stock.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing MTs255 - 12 gauge
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Admiring the MTs255 in the indoor range.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Opening up the MTs...

Error creating thumbnail: File missing Taking aim at a target through the MTs's rather simple notch-and-post sights.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Ejecting a set of spent shells from the shotgun. And with that, we say goodbye to MTs255 Senior...
Error creating thumbnail: File missing ...and hello to his lovely son MTs255 Junior.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Loading the cut-down shotgun with an interesting assortment of shells: from top to bottom, there's a buckshot shell, a Dragon's Breath shell, a "Triple Hit" shell, a slug shell, and a "SWAG-12" fragmenting shell.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Making the same mistake as with the full-length MTs, and snapping the cylinder back into place.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Firing; this is the result of the Dragon's Breath shell, which is rather underwhelming in broad daylight.
Remington 870 Express Tactical Magpul
Added in Update #52, the "Express 870", as it's known in-game, is a Remington 870 Express Tactical Magpul with tan furniture.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Remington 870 Express Tactical Magpul - 12 gauge
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Inspecting the Remington 870 Express Tactical Magpul. Note the curious addition of the number 11 on the side of the receiver; this is most likely meant as some sort of armory/rack number.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing The other side of the... y'know what, I'm not going to type out that ridiculously long set of words again. If you still don't understand what it is after the fourth time, then you just aren't going to.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Chambering a Dragon's Breath shell. While shotguns are generally regarded as being good for room-clearing, it's usually understood that doing so requires actually firing the shotgun first.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing The Sosigs having realized this and returned, one finds the player character engaging in the rather unorthodox practice of using a shotgun "gangsta-style".
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Having come to their senses, said player character is soon merrily blasting the Sosigs with the now-correctly-oriented shotgun. The Dragon's Breath round is rather interesting: it is filled with pieces of magnesium, which catch fire as they fly through the air, and start fires where they land, as seen here. Due to the round's low pressure and high cost, coupled with international regulations on the use of incendiary munitions on human beings (and the risk of setting things on fire by accident), these incendiary shells aren't used in any sort of martial capacity, and are largely a civilian novelty.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Aiming the shotgun at a couple of Molotov cocktails bottles of Frank's Fantastic Festively Fragrant And Fiercely Flavorful Fancy Fire Fluid. These are an Update #59 addition, as is this scene (the Proving Grounds), the Sosig, the beginnings of a fire system (which renders the Dragon's Breath rounds far more useful), and the rear sight on this shotgun and the TAC-14 DM below (both previously having a smooth, blank receiver).
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Firing (heh), which has predictable consequences.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Ejecting the freshly-fired shell. While not seen here, the player character's expression of giddy satisfaction is somewhat dimmed by their newfound lack of eyebrows.
Remington 870 Field Gun
The Meatmas Update of 2016 added a Remington 870 Field Gun with a cut-down barrel. Update #46 added two additional variants, one with a sawn-off stock and one with a full-length barrel; it also made the latter one of the available weapons for SWBs.

Remington 870 TAC-14 DM
The later detachable-magazine variant of the Remington 870 , the 870 DM, was added in Update #52. It is in the "TAC-14" configuration, a variant with a 14" barrel and a Shockwave Industries Raptor grip, which is meant to make it evade NFA regulations regarding short-barreled shotguns by way of legally not being classified as anything other than a "firearm". The one in-game is also presumably either modified or broken, seeing as it is capable of slam-fire, unlike a normal 870.

Saiga 12
A Saiga 12 with a side-folding stock is one of the available firearms in-game, added through Update #40. It can use either factory 5-round magazines, aftermarket 12-round box magazines, or aftermarket 20-round drums.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Saiga-12K - 12 gauge

Error creating thumbnail: File missing A suppressor which, of course, re-scales itself to match the Saiga's barrel, as seen in this demonstration of a complete and utter failure to understand the concept of a "target".
Sawn-off Double Barreled Shotgun
There are 4 main varieties of Sawed-off Double Barrel Shotgun in-game. The first (and also one of the first weapons added to the game, back when the game was just Anton Hand's experiment grounds and not even named H3VR yet) was the so-called "Cartoon 8 Gauge", which sounds downright painful, the second is a more reasonable 12-gauge version (seen below), and the 3rd is the same as the second, except sawn down to Killing Them Softly -level absurdity (albeit unlike that movie's shotgun, this one also has the grip sawn down even further than the standard version), which, predictably, makes the spread somewhere between hilarious and pitiful. The fourth, added with Update #52, is an 1864 Wells Fargo stagecoach shotgun with external hammers and shell loops on the forend.
Wurstworld's Weinerbots also make use of sawn-off shotguns, alongside their generic revolvers and lever-action rifles.

Serbu Super Shorty
A Remington 870 -based Serbu Super Shorty is one of the weapons added in the first Meatmas update. 2 variants are available: a normal, clean version, and a "tacticool" version, complete with a door-breaching muzzle brake, a rail mount, and a set of spare shell holders that hold more shells than the gun itself does.

Winchester Model 1887
The Model 1887 was added to H3 with the Wurstworld update, and comes in both full length and sawn-off forms. And yes, it can be spin-cocked a la Terminator 2 . (In fact, one of Wurstworld's rewards is a T2-themed sawn-off 1887, complete with a darker finish, extended lever loop, and cut-back trigger guard.)
