The weapon featured in-game is an American shotgun of unknown provenance - 'Ranger' was the brand name for a line of hunting shotguns sold by Sears and Roebuck company, dating to the early 20th century. A variety of different manufacturers made shotguns under this brand name, so it's difficult to pin an exact model. The ranger uses standard 12-gauge shotgun cartridges, likely double ought-buck. The weapon has been extensively modified, with a sawn-off barrel and much of the stock has been removed. This will increase shot dispersion, reduce muzzle velocity and aid in concealment. There are no sights on the ranger, but this isn't so much of an issue as precision isn't one of the ranger's characteristics.

This means that even without stopping power a single shot from the Ranger is capable of dealing 450 damage - enough to kill somebody four and a half times over. This massive damage is somewhat tempered by the very short range of the weapon - in fact the Ranger has the shortest effective range of all the shotguns. Still, if you can get close enough with the Ranger you will definitely have the upper hand - with the ability to kill even Painkiller users in just one shot up-close, this is the perfect weapon for those who like to get up close and personal.

Range, hipfire spread and damage remain the same as the single ranger - except now you get 4 barrels to unload instead of just two. It essentially boils down to extended mags in its effect. The other attachment, FMJ, increases penet
