A unique quality attributed to the shotgun is that is fires several projectiles at once, and at close range | A unique quality attributed to the shotgun is that is fires several projectiles at once, and at close range two accurate spreads will destroy most non-bulletproof vehicles. The shotgun pellets can also knock down enemies. Another advantage is that it can be purchased at most [[Ammu-Nation]] stores for a cheap price, or found in police cars, making it one of the more powerful yet inexpensive weapons. | ||
In Grand Theft Auto III, the shotgun's model is a Remington 870 Police Combat | A large disadvantage with this shotgun is that the player cannot run with it (minus in GTA Liberty City Stories, GTA Vice City Stories and GTA IV). The pump mechanism has a very slow rate of fire, so it cannot be used effectively against multiple enemies in different directions. Lastly it is easily outranged by the rifles. | ||
In Grand Theft Auto III, the shotgun's in-game model is a Remington 870 Police Combat, although the introduction cutscene bank robbery shows Claude carrying the [[SPAS 12]]. While obscured in game in GTA Advance, the shotgun icon for GTA III was reused for Advance, implying the shotgun in GTA Advance is similar to that of GTA III. For Vice City and San Andreas, it resembles a Remington 870P. For Liberty City Stories and Vice City Stories, it is an "Over and Under" shotgun, although it functions like a pump shotgun. | |||
In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], it is referenced in-game as the Pump Shotgun and it is modeled after the Ithaca 37 "Stakeout" shotguns, with a short barrel and magazine tube with a pistol grip, similar in design to the [[Stubby Shotgun]]. The shotgun holds eight shells, however the length of the barrel and magazine tube should only hold four. | In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], it is referenced in-game as the Pump Shotgun and it is modeled after the Ithaca 37 "Stakeout" shotguns, with a short barrel and magazine tube with a pistol grip, similar in design to the [[Stubby Shotgun]].

The cars parked at police stations may or may not be locked. Also the player can block a patrolling police car, attempt to unlock it, and then enter the vehicle one the cop exits to chase the player down. | ||
