The Scattershot is extremely dangerous in relatively close quarters, and fires multiple individual projectiles, though its most remarkable attribute is that its rounds can ricochet off surfaces.<ref name="O+A"/> As a weapon created to combat the [[Flood]] and prevent them from reusing corpses, it will disintegrate its targets if enough of the projectiles hit them at the same time.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35_pXjNsDUY '''YouTube''' - ''Halo 4 Flag Stabbing and Spartan Cosplay - Comic-Con 2012'']</ref> | ||
