Based on the [[wp:Armsel Striker| | Based on the [[wp:Armsel Striker|SWD/Cobray Street Sweeper]] (also commonly known as the [[wp:DAO-12|"DAO-12" and "Streetsweeper"]]), the Assault Shotgun is a fully automatic, 8 shells per magazine shotgun capable of very rapid successions of gunfire that allows for very easy destruction of vehicles (even low-flying helicopters) and quick kills. The gun features a stock, but is constantly depicted folded. | ||
The weapon first entered prominence in the mission "[[Heavy Toll]]" when [[Johnny Klebitz]], along with [[Malc]] and [[DeSean]], stop a convoy and steals a van full of cocaine using the gun. The shotgun is also featured during the chase sequence in "[[Shifting Weight]]", when the player is required to defend Malc and DeSean from the pursuing police using the gun, which is capable of pumping out unlimited rounds during the course of the chase. | The weapon first entered prominence in the mission "[[Heavy Toll]]" when [[Johnny Klebitz]], along with [[Malc]] and [[DeSean]], stop a convoy and steals a van full of cocaine using the gun.
