As one of the most famous guns during World War II, this gun was widely used in hunting, self-defense and other fields.
The Germans also purchased in small quantities. Besides being used by senior officers for hunting, they were also distributed in small amounts to the armored troops to enhance their firepower, or given to the second-line units for use.

When the Allied forces approached, the Germans used all the firearms at their disposal, including civilian weapons such as shotguns.
At present, the shotguns used by Germans are really quite poor.
What do you all think? It can be incorporated as an event weapon, or distributed to the guerrillas, as an event team, how about that?
They can give the Germans the Browning Auto five, and the Soviets the 1912 Winchester as part of the lend lease act. The Winchester was the most used US shotgun in the war, and would have been more likely the shotgun sent as part of the lend lease act IMOP.
My plan is for the Soviets to also be able to use the Sjögren shotgun. It has been commercially exported to several countries, including Germany, the UK, and Russia. Although at that time the users were Russian, in the game the Soviets can also have it.
maybe even add the Walther M1918 which was a similar semi auto shotgun like the Auto 5, but German, this one was also present in the last stages of the war in the hands of the Volkssturm.
Been waiting a long time for the germans, and USSR to get a br II shotgun. Anything that’s not the double barrel ones. The Germans have multiple clear options, no reason they should have had to wait this long.
