A M1897 in reality
The Winchester Model 1897, more commonly referred to as the Trench Gun or simply the M1897 is a pump-action Shotgun designed by John Moses Browning. It is an improvement to the Winchester Model 1893. The weapon was popular among American soldiers during World War I, and at one point was even protested by Germans over its usage.

— In-game description
The M97 Trench Gun (also referred to as the M1897 Shotgun) is a pump-action Shotgun featured in Battlefield 1.
It possesses an unusually high rate of fire for a shotgun thanks to its ability to be slamfired; if the player continues to hold down Fire as with an automatic weapon, the M97 will fire as soon as the pump is completed. However, firing as fast as possible causes significant accuracy loss, making it only advisable to do so at very close range.
The weapon cannot be chamber-loaded for balance reasons. Reloading from empty will instead show the player character loading 5 rounds into the magazine tube before pumping the shotgun once to chamber the weapon.
Singleplayer
The M97 Trench Gun is one of the several weapons that the Harlem Hellfighters are equipped with in the prologue, Storm of Steel.
Multiplayer
Four variants of the M97 Trench Gun are available to the Assault kit in multiplayer: Backbored, Hunter, Sweeper, and Hellfighter.
Backbored
— In-game description
The Backbored variant of the weapon decreases the weapon's recoil but increases the weapon's damage falloff, essentially making follow-up shots easier to hit at the cost of increasing the likelihood the user will have to make one. As it features no visible choke modification, it can be considered the base variant.
The Hellfighter Trench Shotgun variant is exclusive to owners of the Hellfighter Pack. It operates identically to the Backbored variant but is equipped with an exclusive Hellfighter-themed skin.
Hunter
— In-game description
The Hunter variant adds a tight choke that decreases the weapon's spread and damage falloff, making it better at medium-range, at the cost of ease-of-use in extreme close-quarters.
Sweeper
— In-game description
The Sweeper variant adds a wide choke that increases the weapon's spread and maximum damage able to be dealt, whilst lowering the minimum damage dealt, making it better at fighting in extreme close-quarters at the cost of range.

Battlefield V
— In-game description
The M1897 is a weapon featured in Battlefield V. It was given to all players who login to the game between December 18, 2018 and January 3, 2019 alongside Ribeyrolles 1918. This weapon can be unlocked later using Company Coins.[1]
The weapon is currently the only pump-action shotgun in the game, and as such has the lowest fire rate in its category as unlike in Battlefield 1 the M1897 is not able to be slam-fired by holding down the fire key. It shares the same default magazine capacity as the 12g Automatic, while its unupgraded one-hit kill radius when using buckshot is extended slightly further out to compensate. The M1897s single shell reload time is marginally shorter, although its empty reload requires the shotgun be pumped at the end of the process, giving it a lengthier ready time than its semi-automatic counterpart. Its ability to kill at longer distances is still significantly less than the highly damaging M30 Drilling.
Its specialization tree contains upgrades consistent with the other shotguns, including the use of Slugs at rank 2, which increases effectiveness at medium range. Even when using Slugs, the M1897 occupies the middleground between the lower capacity M30 Drilling and the faster firing 12g Automatic. Uniquely, it is the only weapon in its class that can be specialized with a Bayonet.

Trivia
Battlefield 1
- The weapon's heat shield is not shown on any of its images.
- Attaching the shotgun rib will remove the weapon's heat shield. The Hellfighter version replaces the heat shield with a wooden one.
