e/Automatic shotgun

Information
has gloss	eng: An automatic shotgun is a form of shotgun that is able to fire cartridges continuously while the trigger is depressed, unlike selective-fired weapons which require the user to depress the trigger for each projectile fired. Blowback type weapons such as this use the force of the gas (created by the accelerated deflagration of the propellant) to cycle the action, ejecting the empty shell and loading another round without any user intervention. This process is similar to all automatic weapons, including machine pistols and rifles.
