*The M90 has a wide variety of slang associated with it, this includes: ''waste 'em'', ''deck clearer'', ''The Hammer, Mop, Broom, Universal Translator, High Stick, Thunderer, Betsy, Equalizer, The Okay-47 ''(a reference to the [[wikipedia:AK-47|AK47]]), and many, many others" according to the [[Halo Encyclopedia]]. <ref>'''Sybex Halo PC Strategy Guide''', page 19</ref> | *The M90 has a wide variety of slang associated with it, this includes: ''waste 'em'', ''deck clearer'', ''The Hammer, Mop, Broom, Universal Translator, High Stick, Thunderer, Betsy, Equalizer, The Okay-47 ''(a reference to the [[wikipedia:AK-47|AK47]]), and many, many others" according to the [[Halo Encyclopedia]]. <ref>'''Sybex Halo PC Strategy Guide''', page 19</ref> | ||
*It is odd that the UNSC would use a pump action shotgun in the year 2552 since semi-automatic and fully automatic shotguns have existed since the twentieth century. Tactically, a semi-automatic shotgun would be a much better alternative to a pump action shotgun due to increased fire rate and ease of operation. However, it is probable that Bungie made a pump action shotgun instead of semi-automatic for balancing reasons, the increased reliability of pump-action, or that semi-automatic capabilities seemed like overkill for an 8 Gauge Magnum shotgun. | *It is odd that the UNSC would use a pump action shotgun in the year 2552 since semi-automatic and fully automatic shotguns have existed since the twentieth century.

Bungie is also known for adding elements just for their effect, with the action of pumping a shotgun definately being one such item. | ||
*In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo 2'', it is said to be a magazine fed weapon, which has caused much speculation as to whether there was a typo. This confusion is a common misconception, however, since Shotguns have an internal, non-detachable magazine which is different than the common assault rifle or sidearms magazine. | *In ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and ''Halo 2'', it is said to be a magazine fed weapon, which has caused much speculation as to whether there was a typo.

*In ''Halo 3'' Matchmaking there is a gametype called [[Shotty Snipers]], where participants starts with a Shotgun and a [[Sniper Rifle]]. This gametype is often verbally abused as many players use the Shotgun instead of the Sniper most of the time. There is also another gametype called "[[ShWATguns]]" in Matchmaking where one starts with only a Shotgun and has no shields. | *In ''Halo 3'' Matchmaking there is a gametype called [[Shotty Snipers]], where participants starts with a Shotgun and a [[Sniper Rifle]].
