When the afore mentioned "killer suits" became a common sight, corporations began to resort back to the good old shock troops methods. They were obviously equipped & dressed to kill. Assault rifles and grenades became the modern taste in terms of corporate defense. 

This compact shotgun which can incidentally be easily mistaken for a large sidearm was designed to accompany troops as a "riot control" precaution. It fires the more deadly 10-gauge shell which has a huge man-stopping power. The idea behind the marketing of this weapon was to take eventual breakers-in by surprise by throwing "grunts" (which until recently were considered less of a threat than "killer suits" ) at them, letting their guard down in the face of the ease of a given situation.

The BACFAS accepts accessories on the barrel and topside only.
