The Shotgun is a weapon tier featured in all Grand Theft Auto games. It consists of powerful weapons that take both hands to use (with the Sawn-off shotgun making an exception), but have a short effective range, making them next to useless at long ranges. Wielding it limits mobility - the player character is not capable of sprinting and, in some games, stands still when targeting. In all GTA Eras, if the player shoots a pedestrian with a shotgun, this causes him/her to be blasted into the ground, and this can be really effective by shooting a moving vehicle, usually blowing it up by two or three shots. In earlier GTA games, a close range shotgun blast can knock the player down, making them defenseless, even with body armor. However, in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and GTA IV Era games, the player doesn't get knocked down by a shotgun blast but can still suffer tremendous damage at close range. By getting in a police car, the player receives 5 Shotgun shells, and the shotgun will be added to the player's weapon slot, if the player doesn't have one.
