What it's good for
The tight spread lets it reach a little further than most shotguns. It handles Infestation zones, Newts and humans who rush your cover. It can also stagger a Breaker up close.
Compared with other shotguns
It holds far more shells than Boozer's Shotgun. The Auto Shotgun from Horde Killer fires faster. The Combat Shotgun is cheaper on ammo because each shell counts.
