The German shotgun only has 1 shot

Can we have so the German shotguns has 2 shots?(don’t play the Soviets so I don’t about the shotgun for them). It’s a double barrel shotgun so it should have 2 shots.

the description in game says it is a triple barrel shotgun, you can read more about it on the M30 Luftwaffe drilling Wikipedia page, but to give the summery " The M30 Luftwaffe drilling (“triple”) was a survival weapon issued to pilots during World War II. It was primarily issued to airmen operating in North Africa. The M30 was intended to be used for hunting and self-defense against natural predators.
For maximum versatility the M30 featured two 12 gauge shotgun barrels on top and a rifle barrel below. "

He has 2 shots, but he fires them at the same time. More buckshot means more damage.

according to some sources in another thread, the shotgun currently fires birdshot. Balance wise, the damage it deals right now would feel about right if it were firing these shots independently, instead of 2 at once. I would personally also love to see a third barrel that fires kar98k rifle rounds, as well as allowing pilots to carry it instead of them carrying the SMG, as it was historically a luftwaffe issues weapon.

So which one is correct?? Im confused here :'D

the TOZ-B is purely a renamed M30

The M30 fires 2 shells of birdshot simultaniously as it stands now, but the damage, gameplay wise, not historical accurate wise, is low for a double shot. It could easily be doubled.

Ahaa, i see…thanks bud

The things is, if you fire from two barrels at once, you’ll often waste ammo. And waste time for reloading, which can get you killed. That’s why it should be possible fire from each barrel separatedly.

I looked it up And apparently birdshot shot of the right barrel, slugs to use in left barrel only as it had proper rifling. No buckshot shot. Rifle barrel was a big game cartrige (as elefants, lions, moose etc)
In fact it was impossible to shoot all 3 barrels at the same time, while shooting bird shots out of two barraels at the same time it would be a waste of a good barrel.

Another thing is that they where issued only to pilots in north africa but i would be cool to see them as optional eq for pilots. When i find what weapon was issued to pilots i’ll post it here (but it is reasonable that pilots would have used some sort of pistol as GI’s did).
