The WM Masher12GA NL Riot Shotgun is a modular anti-personnel weapon, derived from its lethal counterpart, manufactured by WellMax.
Overview[]
The Masher12GA NL is a semiautomatic shotgun version designed as a non-lethal model, utilizing rubber buckshot. Like it's lethal counterpart, disassembled components of the rifle are stored and carried in a cargo case, attached to the Bridges suit, and can be quickly assembled when the need arises.
Since the Riot shotgun doesn't use Sam's blood in the base variant, it is useless against the BTs but, unlike its lethal counterpart, since the Masher12GA NL fires rubber buckshot that stun the target instead of killing it, this allows a much safer approach in battles against human enemies, thus avoiding the formation of potential voidout.
As other WellMax weapons, the Riot shotgun is extremely modular, and can be improved with additional accessories, like: optical scope, increased ammo capacity and the capacity of firing hematic shells. Also, a custom variant is present, the HG Custom, which can fire golden bullets coated with chiralium, making it even more effective against BTs.
