'''Popolo''' is a Primary weapon for the [[Pyro]] which can only be used on the third Tuesday following any delivery of Domino's pizza to Gabe Newell 
 
  
Delivering ten grammar fixes per shot with increased [[Damage#Distance and Randomness Modifier|ramp-up]], this weapon is deadly at close range, requiring only one shot to take down most [[badly articulated aritcles]]. A wide cone of fire causes it to become mediocre at generating articles and near useless at adding images. This forces players to review spelling to effectively deal damage. It should not be relied upon due to its strange usage restriction.
 
 
The base damage per pellet, number of pellets fired per shot and [[ammo|ammunition]] per clip is equal to that of the [[Shotgun]]. The main difference is the increased positive damage-ramp; 175% compared to 150%. It also has differing reload timings.

== Bugs ==
 
* The weapon is never actually reloaded; when the 6 round clip is empty, the handle lever is used to eject the rounds without loading fresh ones in. There is also no location on the model for shells to be replaced.
 
* Shells are ejected the wrong way with the tube facing the firing pin instead of the primer.
 
 
== Trivia ==
 
* Sound effects intended for the Scattergun, labeled <code>scatter_gun_double_shoot.wav</code> had existed in the game files since release. The [[Force-A-Nature]] now uses these sound effects when firing.
 
* The Auto/Tactical Shotgun, from {{w|Valve_Corporation|Valve's}} ''[[Left 4 Dead]]'' series, shares the firing sounds of the Scattergun.
