The M90 shotgun is hefted like a rifle, with the user's dominant hand holding the primary pistol grip, and their off-hand supporting the weapon by holding onto the forend (or "pump"), which doubles as a stabilizing grip. As is typical of human firearms, in order to discharge the weapon, the trigger positioned at the top of the pistol grip must be depressed, usually with the user's index finger (if human). If the weapon is loaded with standard ammunition, the weapon's firing will take the form of a spray of pellets, referred to as [[wikipedia:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shotgun_shell#Buckshot|"buckshot"]], which are quite powerful at close range but lose damage efficiency as the spray disperses and loses energy. The firing of the weapon produces a fiery muzzle flash as burning propellant gasses leave the barrel.<ref name="HCEG"/><ref name="H2G"/><ref name="H2AG"/> | The M90 shotgun is hefted like a rifle, with the user's dominant hand holding the primary pistol grip, and their off-hand supporting the weapon by holding onto the forend (or "pump"), which doubles as a stabilizing grip.
