 {{wikipedia|Automatic shotgun}}
-Automatic shotguns are exactly what they sound like, shotguns that are capable of producing automatic fire.  While they are not terribly common, some military units use them as close-range weapons. Compared to ordinary shotguns, they tend to have a shorter range, but are even more likely to hit a close-by target.
+Shotguns have a short effective range of about 50–70 metres (160–230 ft), but provide a lot of firepower at close range, and automatic fire enhances these effects in theory due to the increase in the rate of fire&mdash;in practice, automatic shotguns are generally viewed as less reliable than manual operation shotguns, as more moving parts lead to increased chances of error and jamming. Automatics also typically have much shorter barrels than pump-action shotguns and especially hunting shotguns, giving them a very high chance of hitting close-range targets and even hitting multiple targets in one area. They are generally intended for use as military combat shotguns, with their high rate of fire and relatively low recoil making them ideal for fast-paced close combat situations.
