Sawed-off shotgun

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. It is a short-barreled shotgun 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 bullets before a rather lengthy reload. At hitman level, the player can dual wield it and fire four bullets instead.

Locations

In the Ocean Docks, Los Santos. In the train garage, in one of the wagons
In the Vinewood film studio area. Between two studios.
Behind an abattoir in Whitewood Estates, Las Venturas.

GTA IV: The Lost And Damned

The sawed off shotgun can be used while inside vehicle to do drive-bys. It has a two rounds per magazine, 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.

Locations

Given to the player at the beginning of the game
Can be bought at Terry's store.

Trivia

As its name implies, the sawn-off shotgun is usually produced by home-made modification of a standard shotgun. In countries where handguns and pistol ammunition are rare due to legal restrictions or high price, criminals are known to convert legal or stolen hunting weapons into concealable weapons.
