The ''' | The '''Z-180 Close Combat Rifle/Asymmetric Engagement Mitigator''' ('''Z-180 CCR/AEM'''), commonly known as the '''Scattershot''', is a [[Forerunner]] [[directed energy weapon|energy channel weapon]] that was originally used by [[Builder Security]] forces.<ref name="O+A">[http://halo.xbox.com/halo4#!an-epic-universe/ordnance-armor/cbbca9b3-5108-41aa-aa21-9b523de68266 '''Halo 4 Official Site''' - ''Ordnance + Armor'']</ref><ref name="VIS">'''''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]'''''</ref> It is commonly carried by [[Promethean]] [[Knight Battlewagon]]s. | ||

The Scattershot gained popular use by [[Builder Security]] who used it to engage the Flood during large scale evacuations of Forerunner planets.<ref>'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 98''</ref> Effectively an exotic analogue to a human [[shotgun]], the Scattershot was first used as a close-range defensive weapon toward the end of the [[Forerunner-Flood war]]. The Scattershot is extremely dangerous in relatively close quarters, and fires multiple individual projectiles, though its most remarkable attribute is that its rounds can ricochet off surfaces. | The Scattershot gained popular use by [[Builder Security]] who used it to engage the Flood during large scale evacuations of Forerunner planets.<ref>'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 98''</ref> Effectively an exotic analogue to a human [[shotgun]], the Scattershot was first used as a close-range defensive weapon toward the end of the [[Forerunner-Flood war]].

The weapon bears the hallmarks of Forerunner design: highly angular and metallic. It appears to be held together at least partly by energy fields, as indicated by its self-assembly process and floating sights. Orange highlights can be seen while the weapon is self-assembling and throughout the casing once assembly is complete; these highlights grow brighter when the weapon is fired. The weapon receives five energy cells from a breach-loaded compartment.<ref>[http://halo.xbox.com/en-us/Universe/detail/e3-2012-halo-4-renders/600518a8-d6fd-4c01-9f46-d9a97fcd9cc1#imageNumber=1 '''Halo Waypoint''' - ''E3 2012: Halo 4 Renders'']</ref> | The weapon bears the hallmarks of Forerunner design: highly angular and metallic.
