Closing thoughts
The MAG-7 is the only shotgun that reloads with a magazine rather than with individual shells. It has good moving accuracy and is well suited to close encounters that can quickly become lucrative, with its $900 kill reward.
While all shotguns are only really suitable for close range combat, the Sawed-Off takes this to another level, requiring that you are extremely close to the target. However, in return you gain high armour penetration and damage at a cheap price that is capable of killing with a single shot to the chest even through armour.
