Shredder is the title of a group of combat Shotguns with an increased projectile count of +2, meaning 11 pellets in total are released every blast.
Examples are on the talk page.
Usage and Description
Overall, Shredders are used like Matadors. However, they systematically have less damage than a matador (11 projectiles vs 12), and more spread. Furthermore, since all Shredders also qualify for the Matador title, they are overall inferior weapons.
The only exception are the Jakobs Material 2 Shotguns, with increased accuracy: They are the only Shredder shotguns that wouldn't qualify for the Matador title.
Mechanics
Shredders get their effect from the Title_Projectiles1_Shredder Title, which is granted from the barrel2_Shredder. The barrel is no different from a classic barrel2, only the title has any effect on the weapon. Please see stat modifiers for an explanation on how to interpret all of these modifiers.
