”

The Shortstop is a primary weapon for the Scout class. It appears as a four-barreled pistol, similar to a Template:W, modified into a peppergun and loaded with shotgun-like ammunition.

Each shot fires multiple pellets from a single chamber. The Shortstop does not possess the increased damage ramp-up of the Scout's other primaries, the Scattergun and Force-A-Nature, but each shot has little bullet spread, making this an ideal weapon to use where range and accuracy are a concern. Each shot fires 60% fewer pellets than the Scattergun, but each pellet deals twice the damage, resulting in an overall 20% lower base damage per shot. The Shortstop has a firing speed approximately 78% faster than the Scattergun and reloads an entire clip of ammunition rapidly, although each clip has four shots as opposed to six.

Like the standard Shotgun and Scattergun, the Shortstop's first shell fires at least one pellet straight down the crosshair before "bullet-spread" takes effect. When random spread is disabled any shots with the Shortstop form a T-shape consisting of the centre row and bottom centre position of a 3x3 square.

If the Shortstop is equipped alongside the Pistol, both weapons will draw from the same reserve of ammunition. Critical hits are also delivered in a similar manner, as opposed to regular shotguns.
