This is a list of all Shotguns in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (MW3). Read on to learn more about the stats of each Shotgun and how to unlock them!
The Lockwood 680 is a great one-shot, one-kill Shotgun to use at close-range. This gun may not be the best when it comes to shooting at targets further away from you, but it still tops as the best shotgun for us due to how you can instantly kill an opponent who is unfortunate enough to run into you.
We also highly recommend using this weapon in smaller maps like Meat or Rust, where you'll constantly engage in close-quarters combat.
Lockwood 680 Best Loadout and Build
The Riveter is a top pick for players who prefer to frequently move around the map and play aggressively in matches as this Shotgun fires in semi-automatic mode rather than sporting the usual pump-action mode that most shotguns have.
Due to this, players will find themselves having an easier time taking on multiple enemies at once with this weapon equipped.

Shotguns are extremely lethal at close-quarters combat as they can one-shot kill your opponent due to its high damage output from that range. It might be worth picking this up only in 6v6 maps, where the size of the battle arena is small, tight, and compact, allowing you to often bump into enemy Operators at close range.
