The Shotgun can be first seen in 1999-era third-person builds, though little gameplay has been shown of it. In the HUD seen in these builds, the weapon is labelled the '''WSTE-M90 sacs''', named in reference to the [https://marathongame.fandom.com/wiki/WSTE-M5_Combat_Shotgun WSTE-M5 Combat Shotgun] featured in ''Marathon 2''. The WST name would later make its way into ''Halo'' canon with the lore given for the [[M90A shotgun]] in ''[[Halo 3]]'', with [[Weapon System Technologies]] manufacturing numerous pieces of equipment for the UNSC. The 1999-era shotgun held five shells in its magazine, with at least one extra magazine in reserve.

The shotgun would make a few minor changes between 1999 and 2000, predominantly graphical enhancements on the same basic design. From here, it would remain largely unchanged until final release in 2001 - save for a re-designation from the WSTE-M90 sacs to the [[M90 shotgun|M90 Close Assault Weapon System]] (CAWS). It is likely that the CAWS acronym was inspired by the real-world [[Wikipedia:AAI CAWS|AAI CAWS]] and [[Wikipedia:Heckler & Koch HK CAWS|H&K CAWS]] shotguns, both predominant during the 1980s and 1990s.
