"Pump-action shotgun. Small and powerful. Low capacity." ― Description
The Super-Shorty is an American pump-action shotgun. It can only be acquired from the Mystery Box.
Due to its compact nature, the Super-Shorty has superior handling compared to other shotguns. Despite its small size, the Super-Shorty does very high damage up close. Its maximum damage range is lower compared to other shotguns with a slightly larger spread.
Its magazine capacity is very small, with the weapon only being able to hold three shells at a time. This does speed up reloads, as each shell must be manually inserted one at a time.
The weapon is pump-action, meaning that the player will have to wait until it the next shell is rechambered before they can shoot again. This results in a low rate of fire and limits the rate of damage output.
Aiming down the sights of the Super-Shorty will tighten the pellet spread, allowing the player to slightly extend its effective range.
Similarly to other shotguns, the Super-Shorty is rendered virtually useless at further ranges. Its pellets will not do any damage at distances beyond their maximum range.
Overall, the Super-Shorty and is a powerful compact shotgun that is capable of killing zombies up close with a single shot. It is most suited for very close range.

Weapon Upgrade[]
When upgraded via the Pack-a-Punch machine, the Super-Shorty becomes the Showstopper.
With the FRAG-12 Module, the upgraded weapon fires a single explosive slug instead of firing pellets. The slug explodes on impact or upon reaching its maximum damage range, dealing splash damage to all enemies in a small radius. The explosive slug itself has no penetration, as it explodes on impact. The explosive slug retains a small amount of spread when aiming down sights.
Beyond the benefits of the explosive slug, the Showstopper also benefits from a slightly increased maximum ammunition capacity. The weapon also gains an increased headshot damage multiplier.
