The '''TR-119''' was developed as a pet project by Marine [[Gunnery Sergeant]] Jacob Rawlins, a history enthusiast. Realising the potential applications of the archaic shotgun against the Borg, Rawlins built a prototype based upon a range of different 20th century shotguns that had been popular with civilians, police and armed forces alike.

Rawlins submitted the design to Starfleet Research and Development in 2382 where it was evaluated and placed into limited production. The weapon gained rapid popularity as a backup weapon for Marines, because of its easy use and high power. Today many Marines have made custom modifications to the original TR-119 design, customising it to their liking.

==Technical Specifications==

Dimensions: 0.9m x 0.2m x 0.1m (Stock Folded) 
Dimensions: 1.2m x 0.2m x 0.1m (Stock Unfolded) 
Weight: 3.76kg 
Range: 60m (Effective) 75m (Maximum) 
Rate of Fire: 15-30 Rounds per minute 

==Ammunition==
Three types of shotgun rounds are issued as standard although custom rounds have been created. The three standard loads are:

* Buckshot: This round consists of a cartridge filled with small pellets, which spray from the round after they leave the barrel of the weapon, they create a large killzone, but have a large kill radius and as such should not be used in hostage situations or around civillians.
* Solid Shot: This round consists of a single block of solid metal, which is highly useful for taking down an individual target or for breaching doors, when there is not enough time to wire up a breaching charge.
* Contact Fragmentation: This round is designed to fragment into tiny shards of metal upon impact with a solid object. Fired as a solid slug, this round is highly accurate and also highly damaging, because it tumbles once inside a body, creating a greatly increased level of damage when compared to a single round. Whilst not very useful against a large group of targets, this round is highly effective at neutralising a single target.
