Monster Hunting Guns Made in or Associated with the UK

I think that common brands of hunting shotguns that the Ranger armourers then absolutely butcher to make them compact and concealable would be a somewhat popular choice for taking on murderous human magicians who might command some supernatural creatures. Lot of firepower in a small package, no possibility of forensically tracing the projectiles left at scenes, fairly large shells to police after a firefight and if anyone is arrested with one they could have gotten it off a metal shop chav who is good with his hands.

Making a suppressed machine carbine is trivial for a good armorer with modern tools if he can get ammo and a recipe . They do it all the time in Pakistan and the Philippines .

Just give you hunter guys some homemade guns with brass catchers and burn bags with thermite or whatever if the guns are used for the mission and viola, no forensic trace and a lot less noise

Short shotguns work fine too and give a lock stock two smoking barrels flavor.

Those sawed off double guns are actually a better choice than the harder to get pumps (which only hold one more round in a short configuration anyway) since they can't be short stroked and can be run just as fast or faster with practice.

Also shotguns can be suppressed pretty easily if needed and such devices can even be permitted in the UK .

A suppressed shotgun with subsonic shells is pretty effective a close range and an over/under double with extractors instead of ejectors could lay down some adequate firepower, muffled so as to not sound like a gun and not leaving shells behind.
