Saiga-12K ver.10 12ga semi-automatic shotgun
How It Plays
The Saiga-12K is the semi-automatic shotgun, famous for magazine-fed sustained close-range violence and for being the subject of an early Gunsmith build. Loaded with quality 12ga slugs or flechette it deletes anything that walks around a corner, and it doubles as a cheap boss-hunting tool.
Semi-auto room clearer. The shotgun you graduate to from the MP-133.
