Trivia

Trivia[]

  • The Frenzy Auto Shotgun resembles the AA-12 CQB Auto Shotgun.[1]
    • The differences between the Frenzy Auto Shotgun and the real-life AA-12 has to do with the charging handle which is now on the right side and acts as both the ejection port and charging bolt. While the charging handle on the real-life AA-12 is on the top and is separate from the bolt.
    • The AA-12's original iron sights were also replaced by rails and 3rd party iron sights to allow optics to be attached.
  • The Frenzy Auto Shotgun is one of the five shotguns to reload a magazine, rather than individual (or multiple) shells at once. The other four being the Drum Shotgun, Primal Shotgun, Modular Gatekeeper Shotgun, and Twinfire Auto Shotgun.
