Description: The phrase sawed-off shotgun is a generic term used to refer to any shotgun that has been cut down to a compact size. Such weapons are typically based on side-by-side double barrel shotguns, although over-and-under, single barrel and even pump action examples have been known to exist. Generally, these weapons are created by the user literally sawing off the weapons barrels at a much shorter length (hence the name); the weapon's stock is also commonly cut down to a pistol grip. The weapons are favored among criminals for offering impressive close-range firepower in a very small package; the act of sawing down a shotgun is often illegal in many countries anyway.

A Sawed-off Double Barrel Shotgun was used by some members of the United States Colonial Marine Corps. The weapon was highly effective against Xenomorphs in close quarters combat, sometimes capable of killing Warriors with one shot. Some examples were outfitted with an accessory rail on the left-hand side, beneath the barrels near the breech, and illuminated sights, making the sight easier to see in low-light conditions.
