The Pump-Action Shotgun is a class of manually-operated firearm first invented by humanity before the Advent War. It is brutal, effective, and easy to understand. Even in the modern era, the pump-action shotgun remains mostly unchanged from its ancient history.
Pump-Actions are a common find on the backs of colonists, farmers, and survivalists, especially those with human cultural influences.
Pump-Action shotguns are made of steel components and wood/polymer furniture. The shotgun consists of a tubular magazine and a barrel laid parallel to each other with an operating rod that ejects spent shells and loads a new one from the magazine. Shotgun shells can be crafted with many payloads thanks to its large size and low velocity.

That quote made me laugh. Probably would be my choice of weapon if I joined an Ethnis game. :D
