Shotgun
From Devil May Cry Wiki
The Shotgun is a hunting firearm that fires buckshot across a wide area[1][2], making it most powerful at close range[3][4], and it has been customized for combat against demonic foes.[5] In Devil May Cry 3, upgrading it raises its max bullet output.[6] Like the Ebony & Ivory, the Shotgun retains the same basic design throughout all of its appearances. In Devil May Cry 4, the shotgun is named Coyote-A.

[edit] Gameplay
The Coyote-A is extremely useful for destroying the protecting gas of the Mephisto & Faust, as well as the shield of the Assault. It is generally useful for crowd control, as its normal shot can cause stun and knockback at close range. Fireworks, especially, comes in handy when surrounded by many enemies. Also, the Shotgun Stinger attack is one of the few that can stun a Chimera Seed that is attached to a Scarecrow.Also it is a one hit kill for a Chimera Seed. If you are up against a Basilisk they automaticaly knock it over for a fast combo.
