The Sawn-Off Shotgun is a catch-all term to describe any primitive shotgun that has its barrel...well...''sawn off''. This is one of the most ancient of weapon modifications. The effects of which decreases the range, whilst increasing both the spread and ease of handling.

By sawing off the barrels, the shotguns turns from a rifle into a pistol. So you essentially have a shotgun pistol for all intents and purposes. Due to such [[Heresy|unsanctioned modifications]], they are not widely popular in the [[Imperial Guard]]. Instead, they are used by hive gangers where Imperial oversight is non-existent.

In the [[Necromunda]] tabletop, the Sawn-Off is easily one of the [[Fail|worst weapons in the game.]] It has worse range than a Pistol and its attributes is easily overshadowed by other short-range weapons like the [[Flamer]], [[Melta]] or you know, an ''actual'' Shotgun. There is no situation where taking this weapon is better than a pistol. Avoid it.

They also appear in 40k proper via the [[Neophyte Hybrid]]s, who also use them in conjunction with the pump-action variety due to its aforementioned ease of handling, cheapness and relatively low maintenance cost. Of course, on tabletop, they, like most shotguns, [[Derp|act the same.]]
