====== Orc ======

{{:bhotr:weapon:orc.png?400|}}

The Orc is a close-range assault shotgun designed for fast-attack, ambush, and sweeping. The weapon's compact size and ultimately tremendous firepower makes it the best friend of any close-quarters specialist. 

A popular adaptation by some owners is to saw off the fore-grip and modify the chamber so that rounds can be manually loaded. This results in a quick-draw close-range weapon which is ideal against large creatures, but is considered over-kill for most humanoid species.\\
