Well this Katana turned out pretty bloody nice, even if I do say so myself. I figured since I already did the Crusader with altered stats I should do at least one "standard" shotgun. Just the trigger removal from the original model was all it required for Xcom 2. The textures turned out to be very simple, thanks to some mapping tweakery I did. Once I got started after that, it all fell in to place and was one of the easier weapons to paint nice.

*NOTE 1*
Attachements DO NOT appear on the weapon; This is NOT a bug, its a design decision to keep the weapon from looking "fugly as hell" with attachments added. This is purely cosmetic, and stats will update when attachments are added.

*NOTE 2*
This is intended as a purely "cosmetic" alternative to a standard shotgun. You can alter the stats in the INI config if this is not to your liking
