The T 8-00-Gauge is a single-shot lever-action shotgun. In terms of gameplay, it acts somewhat like a shotgun equivalent of the Ballistic CRX-Bow, skipping the eject phase on reloads. The weapon will need to manually eject after every 8 ammo consumed.

Characteristics

Advantages:

• High firepower, especially when its second module activates
• Quick, easy reload
• Good ammo efficiency
• Large amount of spare ammo

Disadvantages:

• Single round capacity means it doesn't benefit from ammo printing effects (e.g. Printing Variant, Ammo Regen powerups, or Onslaught System)
• Fairly wide spread

Notes

• The 500% damage module triggers upon firing, and will be indicated by a white-colored dice icon that appears above the player
• "Skipping the eject phase" is technically incorrect; an ejection still occurs each time the magazine is emptied, but happens automatically and instantly

Tips

• If you can master active reloading, any class modules or accessories that rely on active reloads (e.g. the Power Link 4x4 Pin attachment, or the Routine module) complement it quite nicely; you'll be activating the perk/accessory with every shot.
• The Last Straw attachment is also an excellent choice, as the stun or burn effect applies to each individual projectile, meaning every shot fired can inflict both stun and burn
• Due to the instant ejection mechanic of the weapon, the Reload Vent attachment can remove most, if not all heat generation

Trivia

As with the M79 Terminator, the T 8-00-Gauge is likely another reference to the Terminator series and Terminator 2: Judgment Day in particular, where a Winchester 1887 is used (often single-handed) in several scenes by the Terminator.
