Max Payne is an in-your-face kind of guy, so it stands to reason that the shotgun is one of the vigilante's favorite go-to weapons. Learn how Rockstar plans to honor Mr.Payne's killing preferences (and then some) in the studio's newest weapons trailer.

So, what'll it be? The semi-automatic M4 Super 90? The pump-action M500? How about the “wicked fast and light” Super Sport? To be honest, as long as it has a trigger and goes “bang”, we're not going to be too picky in the heat of battle. That being said, nothing says “ultimate bad ass” like dual wielding sawn-off Showstoppers.

This is the latest of many Max Payne 3 trailers to arrive from Rockstar's warehouse. See how the studio aims to make Max Payne's multiplayer one of the most dynamic yet in Max Payne 3 trailer brings Bullet Time to multiplayer, and read our preview of the online mode in Max Payne 3 – hands-on with Gang Wars, Payne Killer and multiplayer Bullet Time.
