Battlefield: Bad Company 2Edit

"A 40mm shotgun round consisting of 12 tungsten darts. Its effects are devastating at short range. Although it is considered a multi purpose round , it is most effective in close quarters during urban operations." — In-game descriptionThe 40mm Shotgun is a weapon attachment found in Battlefield: Bad Company 2. It is simply a canister round that is fired from a 40mm grenade launcher. It is unlocked after getting 11000 points with the Assault class. It is loaded and fired exactly like a grenade, except that no compensation must be made for a ballistic trajectory. It inflicts very high damage against infantry, has a slow reload time, and a relatively short effective range. Achieving kills at medium range is possible, but improbable. The 40mm Shotgun deals the most damage of all shotguns and has no damage drop off.

TriviaEdit

• When the player switches to their shotgun in Bad Company 2, they flip up the leaf sight on their rifle even though they serve no purpose with the 40mm shotgun.
• The red-orange color of the shell used by the shotgun differs from that of the standard gray shell of the 40mm grenade launcher in Bad Company 2.
• The shotgun in Bad Company 2 actually benefits from Magnum Ammunition, which does not apply to the other underbarrel launchers, as well as Grenade Vest.
• The 40mm shotgun makes any type of sight on the AEK-971 disappear when equipped in Bad Company 2.
