History:[]
The United States M1897 Trench Gun is a pump action shotgun that saw usage through world war 1 and 2, as well as the Korean and Vietnam war. Using 12 gauge shells. Also often fitted with a Bayonet. Manufactured by the Vinchester Repeating Arms Company, the m1897 was the successor to John Brownings M1893, and over one million have been produced in its time. Several improvmenets were made from the M1893, including a strengthened and lengthened frame to handle different sized 12 gauge munition, of which it could hold a total of 6. The name "Trench Gun" is self explainitory, as world war 1 was fought heavily in trench warfare, therefore, close range combea was inevitable, and having a powerful shotgun by your side would prove lethal.

A little known fact, is that the Trench Gun, Sawn off, and Double Barrel, use the same ammo, and therefore share munitions, resulting in 128 total rounds if 2 of the 3 are carried. This does not apply in Der Riese.
