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. | 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.

A large disadvantage with this shotgun is that the player cannot run with it (minus in GTA Liberty City Stories, GTA Vice City Stories, GTA IV and GTA V). 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. | A large disadvantage with this shotgun is that the player cannot run with it (minus in GTA Liberty City Stories, GTA Vice City Stories, GTA IV and GTA V).

In Grand Theft Auto III, the shotgun's in-game model is a Remington 870 Police Magnum with a handle grip and a foldable stock in the retracted position. 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 GTA Vice City (where it is internally known as the "Chrome Shotgun") and San Andreas, it resembles an Ithaca 37 with a fixed wooden buttstock. For GTA Liberty City Stories and GTA Vice City Stories, it is a Browning 0/U shotgun, although it incorrecly functions like a pump shotgun when it is a break open shotgun in real life (meaning it can only hold two shells at a time). | In Grand Theft Auto III, the shotgun's in-game model is a Remington 870 Police Magnum with a handle grip and a foldable stock in the retracted position.

*Police cars usually have a shotgun with five rounds in them, which is added to the player's arsenal once they exit the vehicle. 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. | * Police cars usually have a shotgun with five rounds in them, which is added to the player's arsenal once they exit the vehicle.
