The Pump-Action Shotgun is a weapon available to the Miner class in the primary weapon slot, along with the Double Barrel Shotgun. It appears to be Remington Model 870 shotgun.
The pump-action shotgun shoots several bullets simultaneously, which spread outwards in a fairly narrow cone. This scattershot feature makes the pump-action shotgun deadly at close range, where it can kill most classes in one or two hits. However, it is ineffective at medium range and nearly useless for long range attacks.
The pump-action shotgun is an extremely effective weapon in the zombie gamemode, as zombies have no ranged attack and such must get close to players where the shotgun is most deadly.

Tactics
Due to it's extremely short range, it is not recommended to take on other classes at a distance with the pump-action shotgun, as you will likely be killed before you can get into range. Instead, you should try to get up close and personal where you can kill most classes in one or two hits.
A good tactic to employ is to ambush other players by remaining in corners or against walls and killing them as they move past. "Breaching" tactics, where the player destroys a section of a wall or building (using, for example, the Drill Cannon) and charges through with all guns blazing, are also an extremely effective way to use the Pump Action Shotgun; as you can surprise enemies sheltering behind a wall and have enough shots to clear out a whole room.
Because the pump action shotgun has a shorter reload time per bullet than it's fire rate, if the player reloads after every shot while still holding click they can still fire at the same rate and will never have to stop to reload.
