Why did they make the sod off shotgun?
I guess you mean 'Sawed-off' or 'Sawn-off'. Shotguns are an extremely powerful weapon at close quarters but because they are so long, they are a bit difficult to use in small spaces. The butt was sawn off to resemble a pirates pistol grip and the barrel(s) was sawn off to a point usually immediately in front of where the wooden grip finishes. This made it a very useful weapon at close quarters. It is highly illegal to do this.
