Fix shotguns please

Two solid shots centre mass, ai is only wearing a tea shirt, then proceeds to empty Ak mag into me.

Also shotguns reload painfully long. Even if the damage is fixed there is no point using them

I hope so...as it currently sits I've put as many as 6 SST slugs into an NPC's face and had to switch to my pistol for a few more shots to kill one enemy at less than 10meters. FC00 seems to works a bit more consistently, but can still require multiple headshots from fairly short range and pistols...what can I say other than they have serious issues with less than 5 feet taking a full mag to the face and not killing the target, that's with the "good" pistol ammo i.e. the extreme penetrator rounds.

also I should mention the amount of recoil in handguns with compensators and suppressors is excessive for a trained shooter

I tried using an upgraded M870 (26" barrel) with slugs and FC in Nam Thaven for a test. It was incredibly inconsistent in performance. Multiple slugs routinely failed to kill unarmored tangos at 25 yds or less, but FC rounds at 50 yds could get a head shot (using Specter 1-4x). What's really frustrating is hitting a tango with FC multiple times at less than car length ranges and they are still up.

Hard to diagnose what's causing the unexpected behavior with the terminal performance. Is it net code not registering the hits? Maybe damage attenuates too fast on the buckshot? Go what Garand Thumbs video on how far shotguns can be deadly.

In the end I picked up a plain Jane AK out of frustration and using SPs dropped the same tangos with double taps. It was like the 1-2 punch in the torso registered, but not 8-10 FC balls.
