R97 "Righteous" Shotgun

Shotgun Gemini Ballistic gmni_shotgun_ballistic_01_red_black01

The R97 combines sleek design and stopping power for an elegant and effective close quarters weapon. This ballistic shotgun from Gemini features two distinct fire modes — a semi-auto wide spread mode ideal for dealing quick damage and a focused mode that offers increased range at the expense of some power. This combat flexibility has made the R97 a popular personal defense weapon across the Empire. The "Righteous" edition features a bold red paint perfect for showing your dedication to the fight.
