SAIGA 20K

"A semi-automatic shotgun based on the time-proven AK design. While not particularly powerful, it has a long effective range."

- The Arsenal

The Saiga 20K is a Russian-made fully semi-automatic Shotgun added into the game after the 1-14-09 Patch, available at Command Sergeant Major 2. It is based off the AK family of rifles, and is therefore magazine loaded. It also has the same reloading animation as any other AK family rifle. Players tend to find it stronger and with less recoil than the SPAS-12. Also this gun has less spread than other shotguns. Sadly, it only has 8 rounds per standard magazine, making a lot of these users buy Extended Magazines for this weapon to make it deadlier. Strangely the Saiga 20K is the only 20 gauge shotgun in the game. However, it has higher damage than some shotguns. A 12 gauge version (Saiga-12) exists as a standard, but strangely Nexon incorporated the 20 gauge version into the game.

Trivia

 * This is Greatfullded's most frequently used shotgun.
 * Some people mistake this gun for the AK-47 and kick its wielders out of shotgun-only games, amusingly.
 * Like every other semi-automatic shotgun, you do not need to click multiple times to get shots off. (Although, all the fire rates of semi-automatic shotguns are actually SLOWER than they are normally able to).
 * No scopes can be mounted onto the Saiga 20K, despite the fact that rail mounts are available for all AK type weapons.


 * A version of the Saiga exists in real life that looks similar to the R870.
 * In real life the Saiga can fire MUCH faster than its in-game counterpart.
