1874e Petros Rifle
1874e Petros Rifle is worth keeping when you want careful 11x54 mm shots or a base rifle for the later Petros upgrade path; panic fights punish it fast.
Drobulet Shotgun is the basic one-shot 12 GA option, so it fits early boarding fights and cramped rooms better than open-deck duels.
Drobulet Shotgun works because it is simple and cheap. It is a common one-shot 12 GA gun you can put together early, and that is enough when the next fights are going to happen in doorways, ladders, or boarding lanes anyway. If you already know you want the tighter choke version, move up later. If you just need a basic close-range answer right now, the plain Drobulet is usually enough.
Craft it at Armament Workbench T1 from 25 Scrap Metal in 5 seconds, or find it in weapon containers such as Weapons Resupply: Guns.

Blitz 10R Pistol feels like the middle-ground Blitz: enough magazine to be usable, not enough to pretend it solves every close fight.
Blitz 15R Pistol feels like the Blitz version you keep when you want the family at its most forgiving.
This shotgun earns the slot when the fight is likely to collapse into a doorway or boarding angle before range starts mattering.
It stops paying off when the route stays open or your 12 GA stack is tiny. In those runs, the slot is often better as ammo, repairs, or a longer-range gun.
It uses the 12 GA ammo family.
It fits when the crew expects close rooms or boarding lanes and wants a cheap common shotgun instead of spending extra parts on an upgrade.
