Now this gun-- this is an amazing gun. Simply pull the trigger and turn anything in your way into pink mist. — Family Business publicity blurb

”

The Family Business is a community-created secondary weapon for the Heavy. It is a pump-action shotgun with a retractable stock attached to its receiver. The stock has a faded Hammer and Sickle on its right side.

This weapon has 33% more ammo in its clip compared to the default Shotgun, which gives it exactly 8. It also features a 15% faster firing speed than the default Shotgun. However, its downside is a 15% reduction in damage compared to the default Shotgun. Its damage per second is 97.75% of that of the default Shotgun.
