Quick answer

The BK-133 is a pump-action shotgun chambered for 12ga shells and fed from an internal tube magazine. It offers better sustained fire and capacity than the BK-12 and BK-43, making it a dependable mid-game shotgun. It is strongest in close-range fights with buckshot, though rifled slugs can stretch its usable range much farther than most players expect.
