We brought our own (my girlfriend's father, man that was a cool
relationship!) and unless it was built in, they didn't.

Pretty F-ing easy, if you just wing one with a bit of buckshot you'll blow
a big chip off (I did that more than once).

Oh one little side rule we also made:
If you fire a shotgun into a crowd then any d6's you didn't get on the guy
('cause of range) you roll to see if they hit any "innocent bystanders".
You roll separately for each d6.

Ex. Cleetus fires at a black hat in a crowded bar at one range increment
(4d6) and hits. After the damage for him is resolved you still have 2d6 of
damage left. He rolls 2 d6's and gets snake-eyes (doh!). The Marshal rules
that there are four people that could possibly get hit and rolls 2d4
assigning a value to each and rolls a 2 and a 4. Two people are hit, each
for 1d6 damage. If he'd rolled double 2's say, then one person would have
taken 2d6 damage.

This can be a disadvantage (as above) or an advantage (if say, Cleetus was
firing into a gang of black hats).
