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

A Bandit shotgun that combines the brand's oversized magazine with a Dahl-style two-shot burst, giving it unusually high spike damage when both blasts land at close range. It is not fully automatic, though, and the forced pause between bursts means the listed fire rate overstates how quickly it really cycles. That makes it brutal in short-range chunk damage, but less comfortable for builds that want uninterrupted automatic fire.

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

Each trigger pull fires a two-shot burst, and each shot consumes 2 ammo, so every burst uses 4 shells. Fire-rate bonuses also shorten the delay between bursts, and even modest boosts are noticeable. It uses a Jakobs double barrel rather than a Bandit barrel. It can roll different accessories, but the prefix is not shown in the name. A hotfix on October 14, 2013 increased Bandit shotgun magazine size by 1 and slightly improved reload speed.
