Type 53 Under-Barrel Shotgun



The Type 53 was designed primarily to give the Vatakuec Soldiery the ability to breach doors without the need for carrying a weighty Type 52. The frame is constructed from light-weight polymers and metals. The short barrel makes the spread of the weapon fairly large, but at the ranges it is designed for, this is irrelevant. The Type 53 lacks a pistol-grip, using the magazine of the rifle it is attached to instead. The weapon is manually operated through a light-weight bolt action, set on the upper part of the frame. A six round box-magazine feeds ammunition.
