Overview
The Double-Barrel Shotgun is one of the weapons Rockstar has actually shown in GTA 6 pre-release media. In the real world it is modelled on classic over-under and side-by-side shotguns, and that basis — together with its track record across past GTA games — is the dependable part of this page.
Where GTA 6 specifics are unknown, this page says so rather than inventing a number.
In Combat
Shotguns own close range in GTA and drop off fast with distance — a trade-off that's been reliable for the whole series. The Double-Barrel Shotgun's specific spread, pellet count and damage in GTA 6 have not been published.
What We Know for GTA 6
An over-under double-barrel shotgun was visible behind Phil in the Trailer 2 Ammu-Nation segment, making it one of the genuinely shown GTA 6 weapons.
How to Obtain
Rockstar has shown the Double-Barrel Shotgun in GTA 6 media but has not said how you get it — purchase, world pickup, story unlock or otherwise. Past GTA games sold weapons of this class at gun shops, scattered them in the world, or gated them behind progression; no GTA 6 price, shop or unlock has been confirmed, so this page won't invent one.
History in the GTA Series
The double-barrel has been a rare entry — appearing only in GTA: Chinatown Wars and GTA Online before now.
