The Bronco is a small-scale shotgun that can be wielded with one hand. Only effective at close range, it has a limited clip size.

The Bronco functions like a cross between a shotgun and handgun, that comes in a handy package to complement long range primary weapons.

This weapon can be sold for 5,000 Credits 5,000; it is also a requisite ingredient for  Akbronco (x2).
