What is The Best Shotgun?
Since my Pyro thread I've really grown to love the Shotgun as considering how insanely inconsistant and glitchy the Flame-Thrower is I often have to rely on my Shotgun. but this has caused me to wonder what is the best shotgun not just it's damage value but it's situational, all around usage and which combination for each class works the best

What do you all think is the best?

DEFINITELY the Panic Attack.


It's a shame that ValvE is going to ruin it soon.

shotgun
for pubbing and crap where you can isolate people, rs is basically a straight upgrade since 2 less shots means nothing, but for playing with and around people who actually play as a team, the shotty has more staying power and a range-gimped class like pyro needs those extra shots to stay dangerous

for similar reasons the fb is the best heavy shotgun, but that's assuming you would even use a shotty on him to begin with

stock on engie
widowmaker if you're in the mood for getting ubered and teamwiping, and fj if you're some cornercamping baddie who needs his crits to get kills

Reserve Shooter for Pyro, even if people yell at you for it being a 'cheap tactic' since that's literally everything as a Pyro.

Stock for Engy.

Actually, for Pyro, I like the detonator the most in most cases.

The stock shotgun because what else can you ask for with a simple yet effective shotgun. Pretty much there is no gimmick to it and it gets the job done.

Maybe a Panic Attack out of boredom.

Stock is the way to go, Reserve Shooter's clip size penalty is actually pretty detrimental to someone who doesnt need mini-crits to get kills.

Stockgun is best shotgun.

Most shotguns in this game (outside of engineer's) are just not really that good. Panic attack goes against the concept of a secondary. Family business is just pointless when you have a minigun and have a hard time dodging. Reserved shooter... Lets not even address this piece of controversy. And then... Actually no thats it... VALVE WE NEED MORE SHOTGUNS!
