In Battlefield 2, the MK3A1 is the Tier one unlock for the Engineer Kit. Its main advantage is its fully-automatic firing mode, being only matched in fire rate by the MEC S12K. The shotgun is a valid replacement for the American M11-87 and Chinese NOR982 Pump-Action shotguns, as the MK3A1 has more power per shot, as well as boasting fully automatic fire. However, it has a much longer reload than the MEC S12K.

It is obtained after finishing the Scarred Veteran assignment, which involves having 10 kills with the PP-19, 5 kills with the DPV, 10 kills with the BTR-90, and playing 2 hours on both Gulf of Oman and Sharqi Peninsula. The assignment Familiar Territory must be completed prior to unlocking this assignment. Note that on consoles, the BTR only spawns at RU home and D flag on Oman, but can spawn in several locations on Oman, Sharqi, and even Strike at Karkand on PC. For these reasons, it is one of the hardest weapons to unlock in the Back to Karkand expansion.
Compared to its closest counterpart, the USAS-12, it has the same base accuracy and pellet spread, but benefits from firing 1 extra pellet pr. shot for a total 8, as well as having an extra round available in the magazine, in exchange for having a lower rate of fire.
As of the March 2013 update, premium players can complete the MK3A1 Specialist assignment to unlock 2 camos for this weapon "Airman" and "Woodland Oak".

TriviaEdit
- The MK3A1 is the only fully-automatic shotgun in Battlefield 2.
- In Battlefield 3, upon unlocking extended magazines, an extended tubular magazine is displayed onscreen. This is odd, considering that the MK3A1 has a cylindrical magazine.
- The MK3A1 feeds from a revolver style drum cylinder, so it does not chamber a round to gain a +1 as portrayed in Battlefield 3.
- The MK3A1 is the only shotgun in Battlefield 3 that does not change visually when equipped with a flash suppressor.
- The ACOG when equipped on this weapon shows the PK-A's reticule but, retains the zoom.
- Before the March 2012 patch, the MK3A1 had a strange clicking in the reload sound that would have been played when the player attempted to insert a fresh magazine.
- It shared the same firing sound as the USAS-12 and had rifle crosshairs prior to the March 2012 patch.
- The suppressor, when equipped, failed to affect the weapon at all.
- After the March patch, when firing full auto, the recoil animation disappears, showing the muzzle climb without any shaking. This can be countered by quickly tapping the fire button.
- After the June 2012 patch, the ammunition capacity was increased to 8+1.
- Even if the MK3A1 doesn't eject empty shells like a revolver, a sound of one or more shells bouncing on the ground can be heard.
