Shotgun model

One of the most powerful weapons in Half-Life. One of the main drawbacks of the shotgun is that it is only good at short range. At long range the pellets start to spread, and the opponent takes little damage or none at all. It is the only weapon with a magazine during whose reloading you can heal or recharge your armor. It is the only weapon that reloads shell by shell, and the reload can be interrupted.

You can fire either single shells or a double shot; a double shot at an opponent at point-blank range takes away all their health and armor.
