History[]
The 20-gauge shotgun is a type of smoothbore shotgun shell that is smaller in caliber (.615) than a 12 gauge (.729). It is often used as a beginning shooter's practice round and is noted by its yellow hull[1].
Performance[]
The 12 Gauge round is extremely effective in close quarters, and it is also a great type of round for storming bases and attacking people indoors. It is a poor choice of round for outdoor fights and fights out in a wide open area.
Notes[]
- The weapon overhaul update changed some shotguns to make them fire 20 gauge.
