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. With hitman skill and unlimited ammo, the sawed-off is as powerful as a rocket launcher, as it will blow up a car with about 6 sdhells and a chopper with abou 24.

It is exclusive to The Lost and Damned and cannot be found in the original GTA IV game.
