{{Info|The pump shotgun is a moderately heavy, pump-action weapon with high damage per shot, a considerably high fire rate, high accuracy, and short range.}}
Due to these attributes, the pump shotgun makes a great early-mid game close combat weapon due to its impressive damage output, but the handicapped range will be a limiting factor as more powerful, better-equipped enemies take to raiding your settlement. As typical with a short-ranged, faster-firing weapon; the pump shotgun's effectiveness won't be too badly hindered if it were to be equipped by a less accurate (<95% post-processed accuracy) shooter - and it benefits more from a trigger-happy than a careful shooter as a result. Its high stopping power also means that it's effective at crippling, or even outright destroying limbs and organs.


As [[raider#tribal|tribal raiders]] don't get any better-equipped than plain [[tribalwear]], and possibly a [[parka]] (which still offers little protection), the pump shotgun is a great counter against them as there will be little-to-no resistance from its impressive raw damage output.

===Obtaining===
Pump shotguns can be purchased from outlander combat suppliers and towns, and orbital weapon traders for a moderate price - or obtained via incapacitating a pump shotgun-wielding [[raider#outlanders|outlander]] [[raider#mercenaries|or]] [[raider#pirates|pirate]]. A pump shotgun can also be manufactured at a [[machining table]] once the [[research#machining|machining]] research has been completed, for 60 steel, 3 components, and 30,000 ticks (500 secs) of work.


===Conclusion & Comparison===
Overall, when put up against other weapons in RimWorld; the pump shotgun really is just middle-of-the-road in its class: it's considerably better than the [[machine pistol]], but it overall falls short of the even-higher raw DPS, slightly longer-ranged [[heavy SMG]], and the considerably longer-ranged [[LMG]].


Against its brand new burst-firing cousin, that is the [[chain shotgun]], things get more interesting: while the pump shotgun has superior range to the chain shotgun, the chain shotgun still has higher overall accuracy than the pump-action shotgun - 3 times 41.1% (~123.3%) versus 82.5% at 8 tiles, the most likely range that both of these weapons would see a lot of use at - and the chain shotgun also has a higher damage output, and there's even more to come as the chain shotgun has a lot of unrealised potential in normal combat scenarios - but there's more information on that matter on the chain shotgun's page. However, the chain shotgun is considerably more expensive and also rarer than the pump shotgun.


==Trivia==
*The pump shotgun seems to have the appearance of a variant of the Remington 870.
*In-game visuals depict it as firing a blast of pellets rather than a singular slug; however, it deals damage as if the target is hit by 1 shot.
