The Olympia is a double-barreled shotgun, and is part of one of the default classes, so you'll be able to use it right from the start. The Olympia was marketed as the Rottweil Olympia '72. Rottweil is a German brand, owned by Dynamit Nobel - but the weapon itself was produced under license by Italian arms manufacturer, Fratelli Gamba Armi. It was made in 1972, with the 'Olympia' moniker likely applying to the Olympic games which took place in Munich that year. The Olympia has two barrels, in an over-and-under configuration - and a bead sight on the bore axis near the muzzle. A thoroughbred sporting shotgun, the Olympia is designed for skeet shooting - and although not intended for use in combat, takes on the role with aplomb in Black Ops. There's no magazine to speak of, but two barrels mean two chambered rounds - reloading is done via a break-barrel and the two spent cartridges are automatically extracted. The weapon fires 12 gauge shotgun cartridges, most likely double-aught buck in-game. The Olympia is a high-damage shotgun, on par with the Stakeout - and the fact that it's double-barreled means you can get the two shots off relatively quickly compared to the pump-action. One hit kills are common, and two will finish off most within your effective range. Be warned that outside of this range your pellets will have no effect - so using a shotgun from middle range out is an entirely fruitless pursuit. Spread is relatively high compared to the other shotguns, and recoil tends upwards - although given the spread and low capacity, recoil isn't a major factor at all as far as accuracy is concerned. Your mobility and aim speed are quick with the shotguns - just 200 milliseconds to aim down the sight, the same as an SMG. The reload is painfully slow, however - taking be
