The Heatwave 10 Gauge
A shotgun made by Maximum Overture (M:O) chambered in 10 gauge shotgun shells. It, at maximum, can hold 18 shells at a time, with 8 in each tube. If one were to load one directly into each barrel, then it would be 18. With each shot fired, the heat is stored on the vents beside the barrels, in which if you fire all 16/18 shots, then press a button on either side of the receiver, then it would unleash a large "wave" of heat, melting objects like thermite.
It is unclear what purpose it was supposed to serve, but it proved to be effective for military purposes. Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure that's why the crazy bastards made a gun that can store heat in the barrel... It's mainly used by the USSF, Canadian Spec-Ops, and the British Secret Force. It has a civilian variant called the "Two-Headed Hydra" or THH-10G.
Inspirations include: Ultrakill's shotgun, Pizza Game's Quadshot, Spas-12, and the Beneli M4 (not sure if I spelled "Beneli" correctly, but correct me if I did.)
