M90 shotgun (Earth-7149)

The M90 Close Assault Weapon System is a pump-action shotgun developed by the Weapon System Technologies and issued to the United Nations Space Command. It is a copy of Armat Battlefield Systems' M45 shotgun.

Design details
The M90 CAWS is functionally identical to the M45 shotgun on which it is based. It is chambered for 8 gauge ammunition, typically the Soellkraft 8 gauge magnum. The cartridge provides immense firepower and ease of use with little risk of penetrating spacecraft hulls. The weapon features a dual-tubular, non-detachable magazine that can be fed up to twelve shells through a top-mounted elevator. As the M90 is pump-action, spent shells are ejected each time the user works the action.

A tactical flashlight is mounted in line with the action shortly behind the muzzle. The weapon has an adjustable stock.
