Shotguns fire a blast of eight pellets with a moderate delay between shots. A single Shotgun blast will kill most [[enemies]], including [[giant spiders]] and other large enemies at close range (but may require several blasts at long range). Shotgun blasts will also break open pots and kill [[damsel]]s. However, a shopkeeper's Shotgun blast will kill you in one hit as well. There is also a small amount of recoil (usually less than one tile) when firing.
