"The M45 is used during most close-combat scenarios, as well as in boarding actions. It was used in numerous military operations in urban terrain situations during the Insurrection and was met with widespread acclaim by its users.

The M45 shotgun features a dual tubular, non-detachable magazine and is chambered for 8 gauge ammunition. The base model and the M45D may be fed up to six shells whereas the E variant accepts twelve. It is a special-purpose weapon used in any situation where the range of engagement is limited and when over-penetration is not desirable, but maximum stopping power is required. Some variants of the M45 shotgun feature a smart-linked controllable choke."

This mod replaces the Chrome Shotgun in L4D2 with the M45 tactical shotgun from Halo: Reach. It uses custom animations based on Halo CE's thanks to Dusty's wonderful work, and uses weapon sounds ripped from Combat Evolved Anniversary.
