M1100

The Remington Model 1100, known in-game as the M1100, is a Semi-Automatic Shotgun that uses the 12 gauge Ammunition added in the v0.6.6 Thanksgiving "" update on November 19. 2018.

Info
The M1100 is a cross between the MP220 and the M870, in the fact that it can shoot fast, but can reload individual rounds one at a time, similar to the M870. The M1100 also has a much wider spread than every other shotgun that has been released due to the 12 gauge ammo shell being birdshot.

The M1100 had a special effect which could be observed upon hitting or killing an enemy. Hitting an enemy with M1100 shot will cause them to emit turkey feathers, and killing them with the M1100 will emit even more feathers alongside a turkey sound. As of November 23, 2018, this effect is no longer seen, though may return next Thanksgiving.

Strategies

 * Due to the M1100's wide spread, the user must be very close to the enemy in order to use it effectively.
 * However, the M1100's long barrel makes it tricky to use in close quarters.
 * The M1100's main strength is its high rate of fire. In order to use it effectively, the user must fire at the full rate of 3.3 shots per second.
 * Be careful when using the M1100, as it uses up ammo very quickly.
 * The M1100 should only be used in the early stages of the game, as the relatively low damage won't be enough to kill an armored survivr in the end stages.

Trivia

 * The Remington 1100 was the first semi-automatic shotgun to have a low amount of recoil.
 * It was designed by Wayne Leek, the Remington Model 1100 was introduced in 1963 and is still in use today.
 * It's the third shotgun in the game to not use 12 gauge buckshot, as it shoots 12 gauge birdshot. The SPAS-12 is first with the use of 12 gauge flechette, the USAS-12 uses 12 gauge fragmentation rounds, and the Super 90 uses the 12 gauge slug.
 * It's the first weapon in the game to have a unique graphical effect upon being hit or killed by the used weapon.
 * The graphical effect was later removed in the update Bye bye birdie!
 * The M1100 has been very controversial. Some players believe that it should be removed because its fast fire rate combined with its individual bullet reloading make it far too overpowered. Others argue that its low damage makes it fair.
 * The real-life M870 shotgun looks more like the image of the M1100 in-game.
 * The Thanksgiving update brought the M1100 because it uses the 12 gauge birdshot, referencing the feather effect and the holiday.

Countering

 * Keeping your range is a counter for the M1100 since the shotgun has extreme spread and each pelt only does 4 damage, not nearly enough to kill you. If you go in range, the 4 bullets dealing 72 damage MAX can quickly kill you. You can use any sniper rifle or any gun that is not a shotgun as it will have plenty of range to stay away the M1100’s incredibly shot fire range.

Pros

 * High fire rate
 * High DPS

Cons

 * Low speed
 * Low damage
 * Low range
 * Reloads each bullet individually
