Zodiac Gemini: Ready for a step up from the Roomsweeper? Do you like double the trouble for your money? Then the Gemini package is for you! This classy double-barreled shotgun is reminiscent of the classic fox hunt gun, but modified for today's urban chaos. The shortened barrels allow better concealability without having to saw the barrel off, and the CAWS (high pressure)chambering gives the Gemini a serious punch. The Gemini comes with your choice of matte black or cobalt blue steel barrels, and the stockless pistol grip comes standard. Each Gemini also comes with a custom holster which you can strap to your back or along your leg. Plus, for a limited time, if you buy one Gemini at the regular market price of 1200 nuyen, you can get a second Gemini for half price!
