Heavy Shotgun in GTA 5

Overview

The Heavy Shotgun is a shotgun in GTA 5 and GTA Online, sold at Ammu-Nation for $13,550. Its datamined figures are 117 damage, a fire rate of about 200 rounds per minute, a range figure of 50 and a 6 round magazine, by far the highest damage and the longest range of any shotgun here. That combination makes it the shotgun that reaches out the furthest and hits the hardest per shot, closer to a rifle in what it can do at range while still keeping the wide, forgiving spread of a shotgun up close. The 200 rounds per minute figure lets you fire a follow up blast reasonably quickly for a gun this powerful, and 6 rounds is enough for a short engagement before reloading. It costs less than the Combat Shotgun despite outclassing it on paper. There is no Mk II version. Among the shotguns listed here it is the clear pick when raw stopping power matters more than magazine size or price.

Shots to kill: target health divided by damage per shot (117 damage), rounded up. Time to kill: shots minus one, times 60 divided by 200 rounds per minute - the first shot lands at time zero. Full armor is treated as one flat 200 pool. Figures are point blank, before damage dropoff. This weapon's PvP headshot modifier in the game files is 1.0, so headshots change nothing.
Bars scale each stat against the highest value among this game's weapons. Spread is tighter when lower. Numbers carry their source and game version. Hover or tap a date for details.
