= Overview =

The Mossberg 500 (also known as the M500) is a series of pump action shotguns manufactured by O.F. Mossberg & Sons since 1961. The 500 series comprises widely varying models of hammerless repeaters, all of which share the same basic receiver and action, but differ in bore size, barrel length, choke options, magazine capacity, stock and forearm materials. Model numbers included in the 500 series are the 500, 505, 510, 535, and 590. The Revelation 310 and the New Haven 600 were also variations of the 500 series produced by Mossberg under different names. By 2021, 11,000,000 M500s had been produced, making it the most-produced shotgun of all time.

The M500s is a variant of the M500, designed for law enforcement agencies.

In-game
The Mossland 500s is a shotgun players will be able to use in AniPhobia, obtained by finding it in a tent on the roof of the mall in Keithmann.

The weapon deals 20 damage and 40 on headshots. Each shot shoots out 8 pellets. Assuming all pellets hit, the weapon will deal up to 160 damage and 320 on headshots.

The weapon has an ammo capacity of 32 shells, with 8 rounds already in the player's magazine and 24 more in reserve, and a reload time of 0.7 seconds per shell. The player will reload the shell one at a time into the gun, with the maximum reload time being 5.6 seconds.

Players lose this weapon if they die, meaning that players will need to find it again to use the M500s.

Strategy
The Mossland 500S is essentially a free M500, meaning that the stats and strats that applies to the original m500 can be applied to the M500s

The Mossland 500s is a very good close-quarter weapons. Being able to one shot a enemy to anywhere on the body and since most enemies in the game uses melee to attack the players, this means players can easily deal with most enemies effortlessly, Tactics players can utilize in this regard to maximize the Mossland's effectivity include hunkering down in choke points - essentially forcing enemies to come from a single entryway or direction, allowing the player to kill multiple enemies in a single shot. Examples of this tactic include backing up against a corner of a tall wall, camping a room in a building with only a single entryway, and aiming down narrow hallways commonly found in the more expansive interiors found in various locations.

Another rather effective (and fun) method is to simply run around looking for enemies, and when you see one rushing up and putting buckshot in their skull

An impractical use of the weapon include using it to hit faraway targets - given the numerous pellets shot, some of them are bound to hit. However, this is an extremely inefficient use of the limited amount of shells, and should only be done when players have no alternatives.

Players will reload the Mossland one shell at a time. This makes tactical reloads a must, as reloading from empty will take almost 6 seconds, and the process is not normally interruptible.
