== Description == | == Description == | ||
In [[Grand Theft Auto IV]], the '''Combat Shotgun''' appears in the form of a Remington 1100 TAC 4 semi automatic shotgun, with a thumbhole stock, 24-inch barrel with a full ventilated rib, and full-length magazine tube with sling swivels. The Combat Shotgun holds 10 shells in the magazine, with 70 in reserve. Similar to earlier games, entering any [[LCPD in GTA IV Era|police]] or [[NOOSE]] vehicle will give the player the Combat Shotgun with 5 shells, if the player doesn't have a shotgun. In [[The Lost and Damned]], the Combat Shotgun appears with pistol grip and a retractable stock, similar to that of the [[M16|M4]]. However, the Combat Shotgun in [[Terry Thorpe|Terry Thorpe's]] van has the same old design. [[The Ballad of Gay Tony]] however, retains the old thumbhole stock design. | |||

*As with any other shotgun, blindfiring the Combat Shotgun will result in the player pumping the weapon after every shot.

*The combat shotgun was probably meant to be a SPAS-12 as seen in the game art, but was probably replaced because of the SPAS-12's prominent appearance in GTA games or due to the fact U.S police forces don't commonly use them. | *The combat shotgun was probably meant to be a SPAS-12 as seen in the game art, but was probably replaced because of the SPAS-12's prominent appearance in GTA games or due to the fact U.S police forces don't commonly use them. | ||
*Although the Combat Shotgun differs in design between GTA IV and The Lost and Damned, the Combat Shotgun seen in [[Terry Thorpe|Terry Thorpe's]] [[Gun Car|gun van]] retains GTA IV's design. | |||
*Like the Pump Action Shotgun no matter how many shots you fire before reloading you will always put in two shells before pumping. | |||
