Sweeper Shotgun

"How many effective tools for riot control can you tuck into your pants? OK, two. But this is the other one."

- Ammu-Nation description

The Shrewsbury Sweeper Shotgun is a weapon featured in Grand Theft Auto Online as part of the Bikers update.

Grand Theft Auto Online
The Sweeper Shotgun is a hybrid of the and the Armsel Protecta.

Its design is similar to that of the Assault Shotgun in The Lost and Damned, except that it features a short 7" barrel, and lacks a vertical foregrip. It also has a slightly greater shell capacity (10 shells versus 8 of the Assault Shotgun).

The HUD icon has some differences: it has the correct pistol grip of the Striker series, along with a Striker's winding key in front of the drum. It also lacks the handguard seen on the in-game model.

Grand Theft Auto Online
When compared to the Assault Shotgun, the Sweeper Shotgun shoots weaker rounds, slightly slower and with a significantly reduced magazine (10 vs 32 for the extended magazine), making it a comparatively poor choice when on foot.

However, it can be used on a bike, where it outclasses the other shotguns available thanks to its rate of fire. As a shotgun, its range is still relatively poor meaning a machine pistol like the Mini SMG will perform better overall, this shotgun is still limited to close engagements.
