=== Price and ammunition ===
The HSG-1 Shotgun has a base cost of £1250. The support specialist perk offers discounts on this cost at intervals of £125 per level in the perk, to a current minimum price of £375. The ammunition cost is £30 for one 12 round magazine; £120 for a full refill at the base level and approximately £2.50 per shot. At the initial buy, HSG-1 comes packed with 24 shots which is only enough to fill one spare magazine. Its ammo pool is 48 by default just like other shotguns, that means three spare magazines with one loaded into the shotgun. Maximum ammo pool can be increased up to 62 by Support Specialist's shell carried bonuses which add slightly more than one extra magazine for the weapon.

=== Damage ===
The HSG-1 Shotgun fires a spread of 12 pellets with each pellet causing 19<!--"19.5" is truncated--> damage each with standard 1.5x headshot multiplier. HSG-1 has the lowest pellet damage of all shotguns available for the Support Specialist. Damage per pellet can be improved by Support Specialist perk, up to 360 damage per shot, making pellets deal 30 damage each.

Being a magazine loaded shotgun, it shares the 0.75 pierce efficiency and pierce capacity of up 4 targets of other magazine loaded shotguns such as [[Vlad the Impaler]] and [[AA12]]. Pierce efficiency can be improved by Support Specialist perk again and pellets only lose 2% damage per target pierced at level 6. HSG-1 has a spread value of 1000 units in tight spread shots which is also shared by [[Shotgun]] at max distance, while has 2050 units spread at max distance at wide spread mode. At tight spread it can have a better range, yet large spread could be useful for crowd control from medium range for ammo management.

HSG-1 has 0.82 second fire delay between shots, which is 73 RPM roughly and it takes 9.02 seconds to empty the entire magazine with 11 delays between 12 shots. At base it has 303 damage per second before reload as raw damage over 9.02 seconds, and 224 damage per second after reload over 12.18 seconds. For a level 6 support, values are 478 damage per second before reload and 354 damage per second after reload. Values estimated with 100% efficiency with no spread over distance, weapon performance may vary in the real environment depending on range.
