Glitchy reload?
Is it just my eyeballs/gfx, or does the reloading animation jerk badly just before the first shell is loaded into the port?81.178.141.32 01:17, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

Well I'll be damned.
It's an M1895 trenchgun. A proper pump-action shotgun. 17:42, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

WTF!?!?!
Who keeps deleting that this gun is modeled after a Remington 870 Express!?!?! Cause it is! I mean most of you people have probably never seen one but that doesn't mean that not what it is. It's just like the Service Rifle on this game is modeled after the M16 (AR15). Don't believe I'm right then here look it up... (http://www.remington.com/products/firearms/shotguns/model-870/model-870-express.aspx) I own a 870 and I know these guns are the same, keep the fact there. And no this is not a M1895 trench gun. The action is different. (Shaggy 32003 19:00, October 25, 2010 (UTC))
 * It's a trench-gun. Considering that I own and have been consistently using one for the last three years, I think I know. WTH do you mean by "the action is different?" It's pump-action. EDIT:You do know the 870 is a redesign of the 1895, right? 03:18, October 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, it's neither. It's a friggen shotgun in a video game and has no bearing on any shotguns that have ever existed ever. Nitty Tok. 03:21, October 26, 2010 (UTC)

No it is not modeled after a "trench gun". When you pump a Winchester pump shotgun of the era you claim this to be the long slide it has comes out of the top of the receiver and they had external hammers. Thats the action I'm talking about there bud. So either what you told me is bs or someone told you that you have an old Winchester when you don't. What you may have is a Winchester model 1912 trench gun that has a shorter slide, and internal hammer and is more like shotguns made my Remington, Ithaca, and Mossberg today. Sounds to me you don't know all that much about guns. I'm an avid hunter, shooter, and redneck and have a littler over 35 weapons in my arsenal. Next time get your facts straight.(Shaggy 32003 05:10, October 26, 2010 (UTC))
 * I actually had meant the M12, bro, which is a redesign of the '97. I think it's the horilka going to my head that causes me to make stupid mistakes like that. Personally, I don't know that much about shotguns. I'm a bit more into bolt-action rifles and handguns pre-1950. 05:16, October 26, 2010 (UTC)

Lol ok then yea the M12 is like the gun on the game. Sorry if I got hostile I get like that sometimes. No hard feelings.(Shaggy 32003 05:25, October 26, 2010 (UTC))
 * Personally I'd say it was based off the 870 Wingmaster and not the 870 Express, if we're going to be that specific about it. Wallach 04:18, November 11, 2010 (UTC)

Choke
How much does the choke reduce spread?

The choke reduces spread by 40% (to 0.9 from 1.5). HelterSkeltr 04:52, November 4, 2010 (UTC)

Effectiveness

 * This looks like it'll be my favorite shotgun. I always liked pump-action better than semi-auto, lever or break action. Plus it looks like a good weapon for spelunking(I don't have it yet so I currently use the Lever-Action).TJbrena 16:26, November 2, 2010 (UTC)

Yup, both upgrades and Slugs make this weapon effective even out to medium range. I can consistently take out Deathclaws at a range similar to that of the Hunting Revolver. --TJbrena 16:20, February 14, 2011 (UTC)

Possible glitch
When i use the Hunting Shotgun sometimes after i reload i can't open VATS, shoot, or look down the iron sights for 5-7 seconds. Anyone else have this problem? I'm hesitant to put it up in the article because it seems to be just me. Hoborg1 01:29, November 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Happens to me too, same when using 'Lucky' as well. I've found if you hit reload, crouch and then stand again before you finish reloading, the glitch sometimes doesn't happen. --Webley 02:05, November 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Another workaround I've found is to click fire once after reloading, it won't fire a shot but will restore usability to the weapon. --Webley 06:29, December 9, 2010 (UTC)

Guys its not a possible glitch its a full blown glitch that happens with any weapons that load single rounds at a time its an issue with no real fix, to the best of my knowledge there arnt any patches to date that fix it. my work around was to use weapons with magazine reloads. other then that the glitch occurs less outside of VATS but still happens. Outside of VATS you may experience this glitch you will still be able to move but your movements will be slower and you will not be able to shoot or anyother action. This is an issue that can be worked around by using weapons that dont realy on on single round reloads and by using VATS less when using the weapons that do.

Loading Shells
Is it just my game or is there a small detail glitch with this gun? I mean when its reloaded the shell look all brass but the ejected shells a proper red plastic.. This is not the case with "Dinner Bell" where it seems to load the right plastic shell

Edit: Digging though the game files i have fond that the texture file for the Hunting Shotgun has a full brass shell but it ejects the proper world model with the right texture 69.206.78.147 09:06, December 7, 2010 (UTC) Lucian Dragos
