The '''Sawn-off Shotgun''', also known as the '''Sawed-off Shotgun''', is a weapon available in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] and [[The Lost and Damned]]. This gun is a type of [[shotgun]] with a shorter gun barrel and often a shorter or deleted stock. Compared to a standard shotgun, the sawed-off has a shorter effective range, but the same destructive power. Its reduced size makes it easier to maneuver and conceal. Such a powerful and compact weapon is especially suitable for use in small spaces, such as by vehicle crews, and entry teams running through doorways. To make shotguns less concealable, many jurisdictions have a minimum legal length for shotgun barrels. | The '''Sawn-off Shotgun''', also known as the '''Sawed-off Shotgun''', is a weapon available in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] and [[The Lost and Damned]].

Despite being a [[Shotgun]], it's held like a [[Pistol]] and you can sprint while holding it. It is double barreled and can only fire two shellss before a rather lengthy reload. At hitman level, the player can dual wield it and fire four shells instead. With hitman skill and unlimited ammo, the shotgun is as powerful as a [[Rocket Launcher|rocket launcher]], as it will blow up a car with about 6 shells and a helicopter with about 24. | Despite being a [[Shotgun]], it's held like a [[Pistol]] and you can sprint while holding it.
