Adds Winchester "Trench Gun" Model 1897 as Primary shotgun
Unlocks level: 50

It became clear to the US just how brutal trench warfare was in WW1, and how great the need for a large amount of close-range firepower while fighting in a trench. 
The Model 1897 Trench grade was an evolution of this idea. 
The pre-existing Winchester Model 1897 was modified by adding a perforated steel heat shield over the barrel which protected the user from the over-heated barrel and an adapter with bayonet lug for affixing an M1917 bayonet.

Medium-High damage -middle ground between R870 and Mosconi-, and fast firing if you have the trigger finger. Only limited by its magazine size and total ammo carried.
The effective range of this shotgun is slightly higher than the other, damage starts to fall-off on 35m range, and reaches 0 at the maximum 70m range.
Optic sight support coming in another mod.
There are attachment that can change/improve the base stat of the shotgun.

Payday 2 skin support: basic texture

Slam-firing capability is possible on BURST firemode using Custom Support mod.
Bayonet melee function works if you use Bayonet Framework and CFMCW mod.

Thanks to Gambyt for retexture help!
