In terms of Magazine size, DBS carries 14 rounds of 12 Gauge. It is a bullpup rifle that fires like a burst rifle. Shotguns are mainly used for short-range engagements and DBS is good at that.

The reload time, range, and requirement of good aim is where DBS fails as it cannot be used for long-range, reloading the 14 rounds take an obscene amount of time, and as a Bullpup rifle players should better not miss their shots.

S12K

S12K is the best shotgun available in PUBG Mobile when we take accessibility, high damage, fire-rate, and bullet spread into consideration. Unlike DBS, S12K is a ground loot weapon and its high accessibility and ease of use make it one of the most community-recommended shotguns.
