The Moretti CCW Praetorian is a weapon in Just Cause (1).

Description

It's an automatic shotgun, much like the Moretti CCW Centurion, except that it seems to be less powerful, but it has a larger magazine size of 12. 30 additional shells can be carried with both. The two shotguns even look similar apart from the fact that the Praetorian has a rail on the top, and the Centurion is longer, and because they're both "Moretti CCW"s, it's a fair assumption to make that the Praetorian is a second version of the Centurion or variants from each other with unique properties to the other. They both look like assault rifles, but with smaller magazines. It has a resemblance to the Franchi SPAS-15, Akdal MKA 1919 and Daewoo USAS-12.

This weapon is a product of the fictional Moretti company.

Locations

• At the "Agency 03 Camp Farmhouse" safehouse.
• At the "Agency 02 Camp Grouper" safehouse.
• Used by every Montano Cartel "subteniente".
• Used by some San Esperito Police Department members during some Guerrilla sidemissions.

Trivia

• Part of its name "CCW" might stand for "Close Combat Weapon".
• A glitch with this weapon happens on the PlayStation 2 version of the game, where no firing sound or damage is present. This can be fixed by restarting the console.
• Praetorian is an adjective form of the Latin word "Praetor", which was essentially a VIP of Ancient Rome. Perhaps this could explain why either this weapon and this weapon's brother are used by Montano Cartel Subtenientes?
• In terms of its performance, it could be seen as the predecessor to the Shotgun in JC2.
• It takes 57 point-blank shots from this weapon to destroy a GP Thunder Extreme Prototype, whereas its other variant, the Centurion, can destroy it in 23 shots. The Praetorian does, however, carry more ammunition, and has a slightly faster rate of fire compared to the Centurion.
