Bushwack is the title of a group of common shotguns in Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. They are manufactured exclusively by Jakobs and features the triple (bandit/scav's) barrel.

Usage & Description[]

The Bushwack is a Jakobs' triple barreled shotgun possessing very high damage and pellet count at the cost of very low accuracy, a wide pellet spread, and consumption of three ammo when fired. Because of its low accuracy and high spread, the Bushwack is not meant to attack enemies at range. Instead, it is best used at point-blank range so that all of the pellets will make contact and inflict maximum damage.

The Bushwack has no magazine and the shells are directly chambered at the rear end of the barrels by the user. The weapon can hold four rounds although it only has three barrels. This allows the gun to shoot twice before reloading, expending three rounds from the stored ammunition in addition to the remaining round in the weapon, giving the Bushwack an effective capacity of six rounds. 

This combined with the Jakobs perk that allows the weapon to shoot as fast the trigger is pulled lets the Bushwack deal massive damage at point blank range very quickly.
