The Soldier displays proper airshot technique

The Reserve Shooter is a secondary weapon for the Soldier. It is a pump-action shotgun with army green metal on the barrel and receiver and tan-wooden fore-end and stock.

At the cost of having only three shells per clip, this weapon increases the speed in which the Soldier switches between weapons by 15%. Additionally, it is able to deliver mini-crits to airborne targets for 3 seconds after switching to it from another weapon. Unlike the Direct Hit, which has a similar effect, the mini-crits are awarded even if the enemy has launched himself or herself into the air.
