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.
GTA San Andreas
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, as it will blow up a car with about 6 shells and a helicopter with about 24.
The Lost and Damned
The Sawn-Off Shotgun can now be used while riding motorcycles to do drive-bys. It only holds two shells per reload and a short effective range, but it is very powerful. It is exclusive to The Lost and Damned and cannot be found in the original GTA IV game. The Sawn-off Shotgun is so powerful at close ranges, it becomes very impractical and suicidal to hit people with cars or attempt Drive-bys during multiplayer matches, especially if the auto-aim is turned on. While on a motorcycle, this can be used to instantly set a vehicle on fire by shooting the rear tires. This weapon is usually a 1 hit kill, but sometimes takes 2 hits.
