#2 M1014

Having high damage stats doesn’t mean that the M1014 could go unbalanced that easily. Don’t worry if you miss the first shot – you still have the chance to eliminate your enemy as this shotgun brings you enough shells to fire multiple other shots. The most considerable downside turns out to be its lack of armor penetration, which can put you into crunch situations during the battle.

#3 SPAS12

SPAS12 actually does a great job of dealing high damage, making itself the second most powerful shotgun model in Free Fire. It’s possible to scale up this gun’s capacity by the aid of a cartridge, so you can focus on the enemies for a longer time period without keeping an eye on the ammo remaining.

How about not having an extra cartridge equipped with SPAS12? Yup, the high power comes at a cost as you have to reload the gun after each shot. This obviously eats up a lot of your precious time and pays off nothing but annoying problems.

#4 M1873

The M1873 in Free Fire traces its origins from the Winchester M1873, which is acclaimed by so many collectors in real life. It’s said to be an ideal loadout for sudden attacks at close range inside a house or other closed space thanks to high damage, so you can annihilate the foes with only a single shot with ease.

A big drawback of M1873 comes from its low-capacity cartridge. You have only two bullets per round while no accessories can be found on this shotgun. In addition, you’re better off using M1873 in open places due to its weakness in shooting range.

M1873's detailed stats: 

  • Damage: 94
  • Firing speed: 35
  • Rank: 8
  • Charging speed: 41
  • Cartridge: 2
