The ''' | The '''M90A Close Assault Weapon System''' is a [[United Nations Space Command]] firearm. The M90 Shotgun is the resident UNSC close combat [[weapon]], and packs extreme stopping power at close ranges, and will kill almost any enemy in 1 hit at close ranges, it can also kill up to 3 Covenant [[Grunt]]s with only 1 blast at close ranges. It is often wielded in urban conditions, where the close ranges are conducive to the shotgun's mode of operation. The shotgun also makes a perfect defensive weapon to fend off [[Covenant]] boarding parties inside starships. | ||
The weapon's power lies in the great stopping power of a cloud of buckshot, which, while extremely powerful in close-quarter combat, is useless at long ranges. However, it should be noted that the shotgun user can engage enemies at medium ranges also. | The weapon's power lies in the great stopping power of a cloud of buckshot, which, while extremely powerful in close-quarter combat, is useless at long ranges.
