USSR and Germany currently lack semi-automatic shotguns in their tech trees at BR 2. From a historical accuracy/use quantity perspective, the FN Browning Auto 5 was the most widely used semi-automatic shotgun for each faction during WW2, though unofficially. This might be somewhat boring from a variety perspective, but it leaves other domestic or import semi-automatic shotgun options to be used as event or premium weapons.

Would you like to see the FN Browning Auto 5 added to the USSR tech tree?

Sure, I guess
Isn’t there anything else? More domestic?

The Swedish Sjogren Inertia Shotgun was supposedly imported in some quantities before WW2 (possibly before WW1 as well? I’m not sure). They didn’t have a commercial domestic semi-auto design until the MTS 21-12 in the 1950s.

I’d like to see both the Auto 5 and the Sjogren for the Soviets, as long as one ends up in the tech tree.

Some say Weimar Republic was selling Walther automatic shotguns in Moscow in 1923. By 1926 they were sold for 120-125 roubles.

Might as well complete the joke.
