Database Entry

KANG TAO L-69 ZHUO

Shotguns aren't exactly known for finesse: While undoubtedly powerful, they often suffer from clunkiness and imprecision. That is, except for the L-69 Zhuo by Kang Tao. Just like the other weapons manufactured by the Chinese corp, the L-69 Zhuo comes packed with top-of-the-line electronics. The ultra-sensitive radar scans the area for you, identifying targets all on its own. And one of the eight bullets in the below-barrel magazine is always ready and waiting to tear someone to shreds.

Behind the Scenes

Kang Tao produces only smart weapons, claiming they see no reason why anyone would need any other type of gun. The Zhuo is their take on the idea of a shotgun, as it fires multiple rounds at once. Its eight barrels are attached to eight igniters to send projectiles hurtling towards up to eight different targets.
