REM-11-87

"'The weapon of a Pyschopath'"The Hotbar description of the Rem-11-87

The Rem-11-87 is a Shotgun that can acquired by exploring the map and by definition is a World loot weapon.

Overview The Model 11-87 is a gas-operated semi-automatic shotgun manufactured by the defunct Remington Arms, Based on the older Model 1100 series which itself also was a semi-automatic shotgun. Upon firing a shell, some of the high-pressure gases from the burning gunpowder are diverted through two small holes in the underside of the barrel, forcing a piston and the bolt toward the buttstock, which in turn ejects the spent shell. A spring then forces the bolt forward, sending a new shell from the magazine into the chamber. This gas operation has the effect of reducing the recoil felt by the shooter, since the total recoil energy is spread out over a longer period of time than would be the case with fixed-breech shotguns.

The Model 11-87 incorporates a self-compensating gas system design, which allows the gun to operate with a range of loads, from light 2+3⁄4-inch (7.0 cm) shells to 3-inch (7.6 cm) Magnum shells, without any adjustment by the operator. It is manufactured in 12 gauge and 20 gauge; both will cycle 2+3⁄4-inch and 3-inch shells.

A lightened version of the Model 11-87, the Model 11-96, was offered in the late 1990s in 12 gauge only

Strategies The REM-11-87 can be considered as a high tier weapon for new players as it allows more DPS compared to the Mossberg 500 due to the fact it's a Semi-auto shotgun, and the fact it has massive knockback which is very good on bosses, and it's suppressed as well.

However, like every other weapon the REM-11-87 has it's cons, one of them is that it's a shotgun so it's not ideal for mid-long range, it also only has 4 shells before needing to reload. Known Bugs
