Editing Vlad the Impaler (section)

===Damage===
Vlad has identical stats to standard [[Shotgun]] aside from its ricochet utility, spread and pierce efficiency. Each nail shot dealing 35 base damage and each buckshot spraying 7 nails just like a standard buckshot shell. Nails apparently have the high pierce efficiency of 0.75; only losing 25% damage per pierce and piercing up to three additional targets as base value without perk bonuses like other magazine loaded shotguns. When it comes to spread, Vlad loses so much potential here with a spread of 2500 units, second highest after [[Hunting shotgun]], and making it impossible for ricochets to hit targets away from walls for a second time. Thanks to its magazine based reload of 2.6 seconds, Vlad will net more potential damage than standard shotgun at close up only to lose it over long distance.
