Grummond-8

The Grummond-8 Pump Action Shotgun is a weapon utilized by Allied Peacekeepers in Paradox-Z.

Background
The massive Grummond-8 shotgun is a potent symbol of the power of the Allied Peacekeeper. At first glance, the weapon looks impossibly unwieldy; a four foot long shotgun with a large bore and an oversized mechanism. To a Peacekeeper in full armour, however, the weapon is just right; they can barely feel its monstrous kick against their padded shoulder or notice its considerable weight thanks to the weight distributing properties of their battle armour. The Grummond-8 was designed for urban combat and breaking down doors, but the huge weapon proved so useful that it was soon being used in any situation. Loaded with buckshot, it can clear a hallway in a single pull of the trigger or knock down a drug-crazed Auxiliary in a single roaring blast. Loaded with slugs, it will punch holes in light body armour or tear apart unarmoured vehicles. There are even saboted slugs which are effective over longer distances. Apart from these, there are also a number of specialised rounds, from tear gas shells and rubber slugs to breaching rounds designed to blow open doors while minimising collateral damage. The key to the Grummond-8's success is its twin detachable magazines; two tubes of ammunition running on the underside of the rifle. Simply by flipping a switch and clearing the chamber, a Peacekeeper can switch between two types of rounds, and a whole tube can be replaced at once. Of course they can still top off magazines by hand as well. It's no surprise the flexible weapon sees such widespread use.
