Vampire Bustin' Shotgun
By Stag
This shotgun, modified for vampire killing purposes, came about in Mexico after a man's family was taken by vampires. He set out on a revenge quest to kill the Vampire Intelligence that was linked to his family's kidnappers. He invented a wide variety of vampire slaying weapons, including this shotgun. Eventually, someone found him working on these weapons and stole his shotgun. After severely injuring the inventor, the thief ran away to sell the design.

This advanced combo weapon is a necessity when slaying vampires. The stakes are always silver, as wood stakes often break when the are shot out. The shotgun ammo is either silver or regular, depending on if the user is willing to pay for it or not. While adding more room for ammo has made the gun a little bit heavier and more unbalanced, it is very useful to have the backup ready to reload. The shotgun is almost always outfitted to be above the stake gun, but other variations have been spotted.
