Details
A semi-automatic shotgun clearly based on the Kalashnikov rifle design is sporting wooden furniture with a dovetail rail for attaching accessories. It has an 8 shot capacity magazine and a rifle style stock lacking the pistol grip.
This firearm is chambered for the 12/70 Cartridge. Given the nature of the ammunition, the saiga will deliver area damage because of the spread of the shot. It is the second most powerful shotgun in-game, first being the Pepperbox.
