The Pancor Jackhammer is a NX shotgun released on October 20, 2011.
Overview
The Jackhammer is a fully automatic shotgun with a high damage rating, low recoil and portability as well as a 10 round detachable drum magazine.
The reload is somewhat slow, even though it simply is reloaded through the pulling and insertion of the magazine without having to pull the charging bolt back. The draw speed is fast and again, due to the absence of having to charge the bolt. It has a dull-metallic sheen, giving it that futuristic look.
The shotgun currently does not accept any attachments due to balancing reasons and possesses good range capabilities and cross-hair spread. It has a strong 2 shot kill to any parts of the enemy player's body at close range but, as the pellets travel further, this may then be reduced to 3-4 shot kills before the damage drop goes to 0.
