The M90 is a pump-action magazine-fed (dual tubular non-detachable

Observations:
<!--[if !supportFootnotes]-->The Weapon System Technologies
DTM series is the most common shotgun in the galaxy—used
by UNSC Special Forces, civilian security personnel, and sportsmen
alike.[1]<!--[endif]-->
Although
many prefer the larger magazine capacity and rate of fire
of the MA5 and BR55, the M90’s immense stopping power,
ease of use, and reduced capacity for puncturing the hulls
of spacecraft over many other UNSC weapon systems (with standard
0000 ammunition) are greatly appreciated.
