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

A Jakobs shotgun that always deals shock damage and fires its projectiles in a tight, twisting column instead of a normal spread. That tornado-like pattern helps multiple pellets connect on large targets, while each pellet also creates its own splash hit, giving the weapon far more bite than a standard shield-stripper. It is extremely ammo-hungry, but the combination of shock damage, unusual pellet behavior, and splash interactions makes it one of the strangest and most rewarding shotguns in the game.

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

Its spiral path can let Zer0 score multiple hits with B0re. Each pellet creates its own splash hit worth 40% of weapon damage. This splash counts as grenade damage, can trigger Blood Bath, and benefits from grenade-damage bonuses. It is also very strong on Gaige, since the pattern can trigger The Nth Degree repeatedly and then chain through Close Enough. Aiming at the ground or a second target can increase those procs.
