Kestrel's Shotgun - M90 Shotgun Insurrection Variant
Kestrel's Shotgun is a specially modified version of the M90 Shotgun. The mechanics of Kestrel's M90 Shotgun are fundamentally similar to that of the standard issue M90 Shotgun, with the exception to the ammunition type. Instead of a standard shell, Kestrel's M90 Shotgun relies on an explosive variant of the same shell. This enhances the capabilities of an already powerful close range anti-personnel weapon as well as increasing the effectiveness against armored vehicles. The technical limitations of this shotgun are very obvious, in that, the effective range is quite limited. Beyond a distance of 20 feet, the gun is rendered nearly useless.
ONI is currently in possession of a limited number of these weapons, and they are currently being tested for practical applications. Additionally, a number of these guns have somehow managed to find their way into the hands of anti-UNSC colonials and smaller terrorist organizations. How this has happened remains a mystery, but, ONI suspects that many of these weapons were in transit when Kestrel's Insurrection fell, at which time, they were either promptly sold to the highest bidders, or simply, abandoned as tainted goods that would draw undue attention from ONI.
Director Vernette's Personal Notes
Shotguns are bad enough when they are in the hands of crazy people. The insurrectionist variant of the M90 Shotgun is no laughing matter. At point blank range there is nothing that could survive the exploding buckshot of this shotgun. This is when one of those sniper rifles, or at the very least, a battle rifle comes in handy. If someone gets close to you using this weapon...you are dead.
