Papa Pump is an upgraded Scattershot. It is a standard-issue lancer shotgun.
Papa Pump, like all Shotguns can be made into a Primer just by using a component called Acid Slugs. Using this component will make this weapon an acid primer through the component’s masterwork perk, enabling Papa Pump to put enemies under the 
weakened status when 7 bursts from a single fired shot come in contact with the enemy.
This item has a special ability, which is a procedural perk that can be activated by performing an action mentioned in its masterwork perk.
Masterwork Perk: Reloading increases force and delivers bonus damage of 100% for 15 seconds. Stacks to 2 .
