M870

The M870 is a shotgun featured in Plastic Warfare 4.

An American-made shotgun used throughout the Cold War, the M870 is a pump-action shotgun chambered in 5 shotgun shells per magazine tube.

Damage:
Being a jack-of-all-trades shotgun, the M870 deals 56 damage to the head (on a helmet-wearing target), 27 to the chest and 23 to the limbs per pellet. Coupled with the shotgun's range and ability to quickly cut corners and fire, the M870 is a deadly weapon in the right hands.

Tactics and Usage:
The M870 has numerous playstyles, with the two main ones being ambush tactics and corner cutting. The M870 is an effective close range and medium range shotgun, and will make short work of any enemy if within range. For ambush tactics, make sure you have the enemy in your sights and open fire as soon as they enter range (A rangefinder proves useful for this tactic). Corner cutting can be done as well, but as with all other weapons capable of doing so, practice makes perfect.

Acquisition:
The M870 is only available in the Breach1 kit.
