It fires a 3-shot burst, with each bullet as strong as a [[pump shotgun]], but with significantly higher firerate. Raw damage output is amazing, only being surpassed by the [[minigun]] (before accuracy) and the single-use [[triple rocket launcher]]. In addition, the chain shotgun can stagger pawns as large as a [[centipede]]. While each burst is inaccurate, stray shots can occasionally hit surrounding targets, making it a good crowd-control weapon. | It fires a 3-shot burst, with each bullet as strong as a [[pump shotgun]], but with significantly higher firerate.

The minigun has clear superiority for crowd control, but is much more expensive and has unique downsides (terrible accuracy, massive warmup/cooldown cycle, slowed movement). |

It can be used behind melee fighters, and specialized [[killbox]]es take advantage of the shotgun's strength.

It'll generally take around 4 hits (~6.4 seconds average) to incapacitate that human from pain shock. |
Overall, the chain shotgun is best paired with a careful shooter up to level 6, then with a trigger-happy shooter beyond that point. | Overall, the chain shotgun is best paired with a careful shooter up to level 6, then with a trigger-happy shooter beyond that point. | ||
