In the first Tomb Raiders there was only one kind of shotgun ammo. Since [[The Last Revelation]] the Shotgun had two different kinds of [[ammo]], normal ammo and wideshot ammo. The wideshot ammo is best used against multiple opponents or a bigger one like the [[Dragonheads]] in Rome.  Lara must cycle the action after every shot, but there is no need to reload the feed tube.  The weapon basically "holds" as many rounds as you can carry.  The huge bore makes for an extremely wide spread (even when using "normal" ammo in TR4) so effectiveness is drastically reduced over distances beyond 15 feet, except when fighting extremely large enemies.

The shotgun in TR3 looks very much like the Frenchi SPAS-12, which is actually a semi-automatic shotgun.  It still needs to be cocked in the game, though.

Shotgun in Tomb Raider Underworld

A Shotgun is a weapon featured in all of the Tomb Raider Games in one form or another, from the very beginning. It's also fetured in the movie Lara Croft: Tomb Raider.

It is typically a short-ranged firearm that fires either a spread of small pellets (shot) or a single, large bullet (slug). The shotgun is one of the oldest firearms designs still in use and is used in a wide variety of aplications, from target shooting and hunting to military service.

At close range the Shotgun can kill most enemies in one or a few shots, but its power greatly decreases at range.
