Rail Shotguns

An electromagnetic weapon that uses multiple rails or a single rail with a segmented projectile to fire a spread of flechettes or pellets at hypervelocity. Rail shotguns combine the spread pattern of a conventional shotgun with the penetration and velocity of railgun technology. They are intended for close‑quarters battle, where a single shot can defeat multiple opponents or disable equipment. The spread can be adjusted by varying the pulse timing or using different projectile configurations. Real‑world prototypes are experimental; the main issues are creating a reliable multi‑projectile railgun and managing the recoil and power demands. In fiction, rail shotguns are favored by space marines and cyberpunk enforcers.
Rail Shotguns Example: "He racked the rail shotgun's capacitor and fired. A cloud of hypersonic flechettes filled the corridor, and everything in their path—walls, enemies, equipment—was shredded."

Energy Shotguns

A close‑quarters directed‑energy weapon that emits a wide cone of plasma, microwave radiation, or particle scatter. Unlike a ballistic shotgun, an energy shotgun has no pellets to reload; instead, it dumps a capacitor bank into a dispersal lens. At short range, it can flash‑vaporize clothing, disable electronics, or give an opponent a really bad sunburn. Effective against rioters, hostile cyborgs, and anyone who thinks “get off my lawn” is just a saying. Just don’t stand behind the target – the backscatter is real.
Energy Shotguns Example: “He kicked the door open and fired the energy shotgun. The room’s occupants weren’t dead, but their phones, radios, and pacemakers were. Negotiations became surprisingly civil.”

Particle Beam Shotguns

A short‑range directed‑energy weapon that projects a cone or spread of charged particles, analogous to the shot pattern of a conventional shotgun. Instead of a focused beam, the particle beam shotgun releases a diverging stream or multiple micro‑beams, trading penetration for area coverage. It is designed for close-quarters battle, where the user needs to hit fast-moving targets or clear rooms without precise aim. The effect can be devastating: the charged particles create a cloud of ionization that disrupts electronics, ignites combustibles, and causes superficial burns to unprotected flesh. The spread can be adjusted with focusing rings, similar to choke tubes. Rumors suggest that particle beam shotguns are favored by boarding parties and urban combat units, where their ability to disable multiple threats simultaneously outweighs their limited range.
Particle Beam Shotguns Example: "He kicked the door and fired the particle beam shotgun into the room. A wide cone of blue‑white light illuminated everything, and every screen, every weapon, every light flickered and died."

Energy-Directed Shotguns

A close‑range directed‑energy weapon that emits a wide cone of microwave or low‑intensity laser radiation. Unlike plasma shotguns, energy‑directed shotguns do less thermal damage but are more effective against electronics and nerves. They can cause intense pain, disable vehicles, or detonate explosives from a safe distance. Police forces love them for “less lethal” options. The beam spread is adjustable from narrow (a “laser flechette”) to wide (a “microwave broil”).
Energy-Directed Shotguns Example: “The security guard fired the energy‑directed shotgun into the crowd. Everyone’s phones and watches died instantly. The rioters, suddenly disconnected, paused long enough for negotiators to move in.”

shotcunt 

when you call shotgun, but for a threesome. Its supposed to mean double penetration, like you get the asshole.

Like, when you riding in a car, and you yell, "Shotgun!"
but its not for cars. Its for threesomes. And assholes.
"yo, Kevin, I call shotcunt on Becky!"

A college alcohol game involving running and beer cans. After the player is already shit faced. They chose a target, shotgun a cold one, and book it. If they reach the destination without falling they win. If they fall they must try again, no matter how faded they are.
Ayyyy Jared it's your turn on the Shotrun!

Eh i dont know man I don't think I'll make

it and I can't drink that much more

Fucking pussy!
