Plasma-shell shotgun

Must be the rare single-barrelled variant.

Good luck catching Getaway. There isn't a cell he can't bust out of, an ambush he can't slip out of, or pursuer he can't leave in the dust (well, most of the time). On the rare occasions he's cornered, his trusty double-barrelled plasma-shell shotgun will let him blast his way out of whatever jam he's in.

Getaway is armed with a double-barrelled plasma-shell shotgun. Getaway's Universe profile

In an attempt to prevent Darkwing and Throttle from stealing the floppy disk containing Optimus Prime's personality from Alternate Reality's warehouse, Getaway blasted Darkwing in the leg with his plasma-shell shot-gun. Unfortunately, the injured Decepticon dived into cover and when Getaway tried to shoot him again, Darkwing returned fire with his electro-kinetic blasters, destroying the shot-gun. Prime Bomb!
