The weapon's gas-powered repeater system generally holds seven shells in the undertube of the gun. The gun shoots in a fully automatic mode in the GTA Vice City rendition, however this feature was removed in later installments, presumably to curb the gun's power. The shotgun is not commonly found throughout the games; in GTA Vice City, only one [[Ammu-Nation]] sells the gun, at the extreme price of $4000, with a similar situation in GTA San Andreas. In GTA Liberty City Stories, the gun can only be obtained through one spawn location. | The weapon's gas-powered repeater system generally holds seven shells in the undertube of the gun.

In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], the '''Combat Shotgun''' takes the form of a [http://world.guns.ru/shotgun/sh24-e.htm Remington 11-87] semiautomatic shotgun, with a thumbhole stock, 24-inch barrel with a full ventilated rib, and full-length magazine tube with sling swivels.
