M1100

The Remington Model 1100 or the M1100 was a Semi-Automatic Shotgun added in the Nov.19 Thanksgiving "Turkey shoot" update.

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 being birdshot.

The M1100 has a special trait that no other gun has, it makes a graphical effect when it hits/kills an enemy. If you get shot the person who shot you can see orange colored feathers appear above the survivr and quickly fade out. If you kill an enemy with the M1100, more feathers than usual will appear and it will play a sound of what seems to be a turkey squawking (Notice that this will not happen if you knock down an enemy, you must kill them). As of November 23, 2018, this effect is no longer seen.

Strategies
against heavily armored opponents, but is outclassed by any other shotgun in any other situation, making questionable its usefulness.
 * As mentioned before, use it as a cross between the M870 and the MP220, having the rapid fire rate and high damage potential up close of the MP220, while having the tube magazine reload interruption ability of the M870.
 * Due to the high spread of the weapon, make sure that you have a longer ranged weapon paired with this shotgun as the other weapon can serve the purpose of the primary mid to long range weapon, while the M1100 can be the emergency close up weapon.
 * Note if paired with another shotgun such as the SPAS-12, make sure to stock up on 12 gauge ammo as all shotguns use 12 gauge ammo.
 * Be careful when dealing with those using longer ranged weapons and shotguns thanks to the high spread, you will be out ranged with the weapon, so make sure to have a secondary weapon ready or find a way to get your opponent closer to get a few shots out.
 * Even when all pellets hit, the shotgun cannot kill in one shot, even when unarmored. This becomes a liability for late game use as it is not as effcient as any other shotguns, thus it's advised to not extensively use as the frequent reloads will bar such use.
 * Due to high fire rate of the weapon, it outclasses the M870 in close quarters combat

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, and the USAS-12 uses 12 gauge fragmentation rounds.
 * 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 removed in the update Bye bye birdie.M1100 Lying on the Ground.PNGM1100SPREAD.PNG
