The Akita is a great fully-automatic Shotgun that's great at mowing down groups quickly at close-quarters. Its full-auto configuration makes it easy to use, and this coupled with Shotgun Slugs makes it a strong close-mid range contender in skilled hands.

The Echo 12 crosses between the M10 Breacher and the Akita with its burst mechanism. Though it may not be as aggressive as the one-shot kill M10 Breacher of the full-auto Akita, it's an alright shotgun for its recoil control and speed.
