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.

Walther made an automatic shotgun in the 1920s. Why not use this instead? It would be more unique to use a German shotgun design

Shotguns are cool but they suck in enlisted. So to me thisnwould be a gimmick.

Agreed, tgis would definitely be a better option for germany. Plus I’m pretty sure the soviets used the Browning auto 5 more then the windchester 1912
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.
