Forming an argument for adding semi-auto shotguns, and balance of them

What about #4 Buckshot ammo?

-More but smaller pellets
-More spread
-Less range
-Less penetration
-Better hipfire
-Better at close ranges

I think that's the fear the devs have, it ending up dominant without there really being a drawback that isn't too steep, like once you start to mess with damage-numbers etc.

yehhh semi auto shotties would be amazing

I posted this somewhere else, too, but I think semi-auto shotguns would be broken. Not because they would be too strong, but because everything else is garbage.

That being said, NWI decided to add in an MP7 that uses 5.56 and has no recoil (also called the VHS-2) so I guess they don't give a fuck about balance anymore, anyway.

So I love using Flechette rounds, but I did a little video research and it does seem that flechettes don't work very well at all in the real world. Maybe replace Flechette rounds with Dragon's Breath rounds? XD

Amount of ammunition you can carry and poor armor penetration should be the limitations of shotguns. Also limit them by class.
