root@jakobs-db:~$ cat description.txt

A Jakobs shotgun with enormous per-pellet damage and a low pellet count, making it far more consistent for crits and longer-range hits than most shotguns. Every shot also hurts the user and delays shield recharge, so it is strongest when fired in short brutal bursts from cover rather than spammed. That drawback makes it dangerous, but it also creates strong synergies for characters who can exploit self-damage or fast burst windows.

root@hyperion-db:~$ cat notes.txt

The high per-pellet damage and reduced pellet count improve reliability at range, but also reduce spread coverage. It pairs poorly with amp shields because every shot interrupts shield uptime. It is listed as Captain Blade's Orphan Maker, though the prefix can vary. The self-damage does not apply if Salvador holds it in his off-hand during Gunzerking.
