American Legacy Firearms/Ithaca NRA Shotgun

     Notes: This shotgun was designed as a commemorative issue for the NRA by ALF.  It was built on an Ithaca 37 Featherlight pump-action shotgun. and is replete with engravings on the receiver, stock, pistol grip wrist, and pump slide.  These engravings, especially on the receiver, are quite intricate, and the receiver is gold-plated. The magazine cap is also gold-plated, as is the trigger guard and trigger.  The pistol grip cap is ebony, and likewise engraved.  The weapon has a front sight, which is fiberoptic.  The artwork consists of fowl throughout the US.  The guns have special serial numbers, which are consecutive.  Only 100 per state are available. It is available only in 20 gauge, with a 26-inch match-quality barrel; the ejection port has been shifted to the bottom of the receiver, allowing both sides of the receiver to be engraved. Stocks are of high-quality American walnut, with a deluxe finish.  Three interchangeable choke tubes (Full, Modified, and improved cylinder) come with the shotgun; standard choke is Extra Full). The IRL price of one of these is several thousand dollars.

ASD Tactical Shotgun

     Notes: The ASD Tactical (ASD stands for the manufacturer’s unusual name, Acme Spotted Dog) is a highly-modernized Remington 870 shotgun.  Improvements include polymer construction, a sidesaddle cartridge holder on the left side that holds six spare rounds, a pistol grip instead of the normal shotgun stock, a combat sling, and a pump slide that has a sleeve for a flashlight or laser aiming module.  The rear sight is mounted on a patented TRAK-LOCK mount; theis sight can be removed and replaced with other types of iron or certain optical sights.  The supplied rear sight is a ghost-ring-type sight, and the front sight is high and has a tritium inlay.  In front of the rear sight is a MIL-STD-1913 rail.  The ASD Tactical is heavy for a shotgun of its type, but this helps fight recoil.

Charles Daly Combat Shotgun

     Notes: This shotgun is manufactured in Turkey specifically for sale in the US under the Charles Daly name.  It is a very lightweight, but basic shotgun that is easy to use and tote around.  The Charles Daly Combat Shotgun has actually had more sales to civilians than military or police as it was intended.  The stock has a thick rubber recoil pad, and the slide is ribbed to ease cycling.  The weapon has a crossbolt safety.  The action is said to be one of the smoothest in a pump-action shotgun.

Charles Daly Field Grade Hunter/Maxi-Mag Pump Action

     Notes: These pump action shotguns are actually produced for Charles Daly by Fabarm of Italy.  They are produced only in 12 gauge versions, with a 3-inch chambering for the Field Grade Hunter (though it is also capable of chambering 2.75-inch shells) and a 3.5-inch chamber for the Maxi-Mag (though it also capable of using 2.75-inch and 3-inch shells).  They are both equipped with a barrel which has a ventilated barrel rib on top.  Stocks are synthetic and come in black or camouflage finishes (with Camo versions not being made with a 30-inch barrel), with a pistol-grip wrist.  Receivers are built from a single block of Ergal-55 aluminum; the barrels are of chrome-molybdenum steel.  The Maxi-Mag also has compensator ports cut into the barrel to cut recoil, since it is a relatively lightweight weapon. 

Charles Daly Field Slug/Field Tactical Pump-Action

     Notes: These shotguns are designed specifically for the firing of shotgun slugs, but the barrel is smoothbore and coarse shot can also be fired through it.  The two are basically identical, except that the Field Slug has an adjustable rear leaf sight and the Field Tactical does not.  Both have a very short 18.5-inch barrel with a fixed Cylindrical choke, and have furniture of black high-impact plastic with a pistol grip wrist.  Both are grooved for the attachment of telescopic sights.  The receiver and barrel of the Field Slug may be finished in matte black or nickel plating; the Field Tactical has only matte black finishes for its metal parts.  Note that there are no separate statistics for the Field Tactical below; it is identical to the Field Slug for game purposes.

Ciener Ultimate Over-Under Combination

     Notes: This is the same sort of idea as the Master Key Shotgun System below; however, it uses Remington 870P which is only slightly reduced in barrel length from the shortest version of the standard Remington 870P.  It is also much easier to attach to the typical M-16/M-4 series weapon, using the bayonet lug to attach the weapon at the front and a simple clip for the upper receiver at the rear, and it only takes a few seconds to remove or attach the modified shotgun.  There are plans to modify the system for use with other assault rifles, but if any such weapons exist, they are rare; the main setups are for use with M-16/M-4 series and similar weapons.

Clandestine 12

     Notes: This is a silenced 12-gauge shotgun based on the Remington 870P shotgun.  The suppressor fits on the end of the muzzle and has a standoff attachment to allow hinges and locks to be blasted off doors without the possibility of blowing a barrel when the weapon is touched to the hinge or lock.  Firing noise is reduced to roughly that of an air gun.  The weapon's slide includes a clip for a flashlight or other attachment. 

     Twilight 2000 Notes: This weapon was in limited issue to US Army Delta units and Navy SEALs during the Twilight War.
