Notes: The ASD Tactical (ASD stands for the manufacturer’s unusual name, Acme Spotted Dog) is a highly-modernized Remington 870 shotgun. Improvements include polymer construction, a sidesaddle cartridge holder on the left side that holds six spare rounds, a pistol grip instead of the normal shotgun stock, a combat sling, and a pump slide that has a sleeve for a flashlight or laser aiming module. The rear sight is mounted on a patented TRAK-LOCK mount; theis sight can be removed and replaced with other types of iron or certain optical sights. The supplied rear sight is a ghost-ring-type sight, and the front sight is high and has a tritium inlay. In front of the rear sight is a MIL-STD-1913 rail. The ASD Tactical is heavy for a shotgun of its type, but this helps fight recoil.

Notes: Manufactured for Charles Daly by Fabarm of Italy, the Field Hunter is a gas-operated semiautomatic shotgun with metal parts made mostly of Ergal-55 aluminum. This metal is strong yet light, making the weapon lightweight yet able to handle magnum shells. The barrel is of chrome-molybdenum steel, strong enough for steel shot, and equipped with MC-3 interchangeable chokes (a set of three different chokes). Furthermore, the barrel may be removed and replaced with a 24-inch rifled barrel for use with slugs. The barrels are equipped with a ventilated sighting rib. The stock and fore-end are made from impact-resistant plastic, either black or in a camouflage pattern (with Field Hunter Camo versions not having a 30-inch barrel option), and having a pistol grip wrist and rubber recoil pad on the butt.

Notes: Though designed specifically for firing shotgun slugs, the short barrel of this shotgun is a smoothbore and is suitable for firing shot shells. The Field Slug has leaf-type folding rear sights and a ramp front sight, with no sighting rib. The furniture of the gun is made from impact-resistant plastic with a pistol grip wrist (black in color); the receiver is of Ergal-55 aluminum, and the barrel of chrome-molybdenum steel. The metalwork may be finished in matte black or nickel-plated.

Notes: This semiautomatic shotgun is called the "Maxi-Mag" due to its chambering, which is for 12 gauge 3.5" shells. (The Maxi-Mag is also capable of chambering and firing 2.75" and 3" shells.) It is designed primarily for turkey hunting, though other hunting is certainly possible. The barrel is relatively short compared to other fowling shotguns, and the shotgun is fairly light and easy to tote around despite the chambering. This is possible due to the construction; stocks are made from synthetic material (overprinted with Realtree Hardwoods HD or Advantage Timber HD camouflage patterns), and many of the other structural parts are made from light steel. The sights are HiViz/TriViz combination Turkey/Deer sights. The stock is supplied with a thick recoil pad on the butt. The weapon is not drilled and tapped for a scope as delivered, the top of the shotgun allows plenty of room to do so if this is desired.

Notes: These over-and-under shotguns are in fact built by a Turkish company (I have not yet been able to find out which Turkish company), but they are sold exclusively for and by Charles Daly. The Models 105 and 106 are meant to be more affordable than the typical Charles Daly shotgun (real life prices are on the low end for over-and-under shotguns of their workmanship, which is still exceptional).

Both the Model 105 and 106 feature engraved side panels with various levels of engraving, as well as an engraved fore-end in front of the trigger guard. They are known for ease of care and cleaning, as well as disassembly. They are equipped with double triggers on the Model 105; the front trigger fires the lower barrel and the rear trigger fires the upper barrel. On the Model 106, there is a single trigger, with a barrel selector on the tang. External metalwork is largely blued (except the engraved portions), but the trigger and in some cases, the trigger guard itself, is gold-plated. The blueing is particularly impressive, being highly resistant to wear and tear. The wood of the stock and fore-end is only of medium quality, though it is of Turkish walnut, and the finish is both beautifully impressive and weatherproofed. The stock has a pistol grip wrist with a rounded end, and the pistol grip wrist and fore-end are impeccably checkered in a fine pattern. The pistol grip wrist is quite deep, allowing for a raised "fiddleback" cheekpiece. Both are equipped with a thick rubber recoil pad; this may be one of the Model 105 and 106’s few problems, since the pad sold with the shotguns has generated a lot of complaints for being too thin and too uncomfortable to really absorb felt recoil properly. Atop the upper barrel is a sighting rib which is ventilated except at the very end; there it becomes solid, with a gold bead sight on it near the muzzle. The shotguns include variable choke tubes of Full, Modified Cylinder, and Improved Cylinder, included in the cost of the shotguns (both in real life and in the game cost). .410 gauge models, however, are not equipped with variable choke tubes, nor are they designed for them.

The Model 105 is chambered only for 12 gauge shells, and may be had with a 26 or 28-inch barrel. On the tang, one will find what looks like a dial embedded in the tang; this is in fact a rotary switch that is used to safe the shotgun as well as unlocking it to allow it to be broken open. Versions with 26-inch barrels have a "natural" choke of Improved Cylinder for the top barrel and Modified Cylinder for the bottom barrel; versions with a 28-inch barrel use a Modified Cylindrical choke for the top barrel and Full choke for the bottom barrel.

The Model 106 can be had in chamberings ranging from 12 gauge to .410 gauge, and use 26 inch barrel for all gauges except the 12 and 20 gauge models, which can also be had with a 28-inch barrel. The Model 106 is essentially a lighter version of the Model 105, but the side-plate engraving is much more elaborate than on the Model 105, including hunting scenes and gold inlay. Instead of the rotary switch of the Model 105, the Model 106 uses a tang-mounted lever-type switch; this both acts as a safety and to switch which barrel is to be fired. Most Model 106’s use "natural" chokes of Modified Cylinder for both barrels, though the .410 Gauge version has an upper barrel with a Modified Cylindrical choke and a lower barrel with Full choke.

Twilight 2000 Notes: The Models 105 and 106 are not available in the Twilight 2000 timeline.

Notes: This is a 12 gauge semiautomatic shotgun with interchangeable barrels; one has compensator ports near the muzzle, and one does not. The barrel also has MC-3 interchangeable chokes, and a sighting rib with a fluorescent fiberoptic front sight bead. The metalwork is of chrome-molybdenum steel. The stock is of select Turkish walnut, with a pistol grip wrist. A variant of this shotgun is the Superior Trap; this shotgun has long barrels with compensators, and a Monte Carlo stock. It is otherwise the same as the Superior Sport.

Twilight 2000 Notes: These shotguns do not exist in the Twilight 2000 timeline.

Notes: The Excell Auto 5 is a semiautomatic recoil-operated shotgun which is designed for hunting (primarily bird hunting). There are several models, but almost all have a barrel topped by a ventilated sighting rib; this rib comes with bead or fiberoptic sights (depending on the model), and the weapon is fairly lightweight. All have a thick rubber recoil pad. The Excell Auto 5 Synthetic has a 28-inch barrel with four interchangeable chokes (Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, and Full) and a synthetic stock and fore-end in black. It has bead sights. The Excell Auto 5 Walnut is virtually identical except for the walnut stock and fore-end, and slightly differing weight and cost (in game terms). The Excell Auto 5 Waterfowl is virtually identical to the Synthetic, except for the camouflage finish to its stock and fore-end, and is identical to the Synthetic for game purposes. The Excell Auto 5 Turkey has a short 22-inch barrel, the same interchangeable chokes, a synthetic camouflage stock and fore-end, and fiberoptic sights instead of a sighting rib. The Excell Auto 5 Combo has a 28-inch shotgun barrel, and an exchange rifled barrel 24 inches long. The shotgun barrel has a sighting rib with a bead front sight; the rifled barrel has fiberoptic sights and no sighting rib. The stock is black synthetic, and when equipped with the shotgun barrel, it is identical to the Synthetic for game purposes.

Twilight 2000 Notes: Introduced in 2005, the Excell Auto 5 does not exist in the Twilight 2000 timeline.

Notes: The M-10A and M-10B are the Flite King shotguns turned into bullpup designs. The Flite King has had its stock removed and the action encased in a high-impact plastic shell. The shell is designed to allow the weapon to be easily fired one-handed or two-handed, and it is a short, handy weapon. A big minus is the small magazine; it is a tubular underbarrel magazine holding only 4 rounds. Another minus is that the M-10 can be rather unreliable, especially when firing non-magnum rounds. The difference between the M-10A and M-10B are that the M-10A has an integral carrying handle, while the M-10B has a folding carrying handle. There are a few police departments using the M-10, but most are curiosity items in the hands of collectors.

Notes: Also known as the "HS-60" and "High Standard Riot Gun," the Model 60 was designed by Bob Hillberg shortly after World War 2 for military, police, and home defense use. (The Model 60 was actually first sold in 1954 by Sears, and was known as the JC Higgins Model 60 for about the first year.) Bob Hillberg was one of the first firearms designers to make gas operation in a shotgun work properly, and the Model 60 was one of his first commercial designs.

The Model 60 was based on the pump-action Model 20, but of course heavily-modified internally for use with the semiautomatic gas operation system. However, the stock, barrel, bolt, and trigger mechanism are identical to that of the Model 20, and the receiver virtually identical. The gas operation caused less felt recoil, at a time when most semiautomatic shotguns were recoil-operated and had a lot of kick.

The Model 60 had virtually no sales to the military (despite the fact that a version specifically designed for the military was developed), and most sales went to police departments and civilians. Metalwork was of steel, with a walnut buttstock and fore-end. The standard barrel is 18 inches, but many have turned up with 18.5 inches. The origin of these versions is unknown (the Model 60 was never built by High Standard with an 18.5-inch barrel), but it is believed that the slight barrel extension may have been made by local gunsmiths to satisfy certain local regulations in California for civilian shotguns at the time. Many are also found with their tubular magazines plugged at 4 rounds (or less).
