Re: Shotguns

In Starfist Book 2, School of Fire, some of the colonial police are
armed
with a .70 caliber rifle with five tubular magazines that rotate around
the
barrel. Each mag can be loaded with a different kind of ammo: shot,
smoke
and explosive are listed in the book.

The books are written by David Sherman and Dan Cragg. While they aren't
"great" literature by any means, they are a lot of fun to read and have
some
interesting technology and combat scenes.
