Lupara

Lupara is an Italian word used to refer to a sawn-off shotgun of the break-open type. It is traditionally associated with La Cosa Nostra, the Italian organized crime group dominant in Sicily for their use of it in vendettas, defense — such as its use against Mussolini's army when he decided to break up the Sicilian mafioso network —and hunting.

The shortened barrel (or barrels) of a lupara lend themselves to easier handling in wooded areas, or to easier concealment and indoor employment in urban areas. The absence of choke and the shortened barrel contribute to a wider spread of shot than that of a choked full length gun.

Both barrels of a lupara can be fired at once. The wielder rolls an additional Shooting die, just as when firing on Full-Auto (plus Wild Die), including recoil (which cancels out the usual +2 for shotguns). Roll damage for each successful shot separately.
