Splatguns vs normal shotgun
What is so unique about the splatguns (aside from the projectile)? Are they any good ? If so, which splatgun do you think is worth farming for? Is there a character that makes great use of these splatguns ?

There are only a few that are worth farming for.
The Slowhand is great for Hellborn Kreig.
Overall though, most regular shotguns out perform splatguns.

I concur. Only splatgun I've found even remotely useful is the Slowhand. I use it in Digistruct Peak runs for elimating those pesky slagged badass spiderants and skags. It absolutely melts those suckers in just two or three clips.

i like the bandit splasher blasters, there's very little resemblence to a shotgun, its more like an elemental grenade launcher, fun to use, lob shock grenades all over the place with the large bandit mag

General use and against various Raid Bosses, it actually does. In some specific cases the CC might be better, but most of the time the Interfacer is better. Sadly, it is DLC based, dropping from Voracidous, Dexiduous, and Omhd-Omhd-Ohk, all from the Hammerlock DLC.

Practicable Slowhands are great, the non-hyperion splatguns can be used to regen rocket ammo.

Including ammo consumption ;)

I don't think that Dex has any seraph items in his drop pool, not sure about triple-o since he's such a ♥♥♥♥♥ to spawn. Vorac drops Interfazors like candy.

Interfacer is the better of the 2 but you have to be pretty accurate with it, slowhand (from torque dlc) is great with maya if u use the correct build, but not with bosses as it relies on killing as many bandits etc as possible to keep ur health up. Hyperion shotties are the best for accuracy plus fast shooting in general play, love that moxxi shotgun in the 1st and 2nd playthroughs.

Not really, it's ca. 2% of damage done back as health, you don't even have to kill anything to life leech with SH (or any Moxxi gun for that matter).

I checked the Interfacer page on the wikia (http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Interfacer) and it said it drops from Vora, Dexi, and Triple-O. The page might be wrong, but the page for Dexi (http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Dexiduous_the_Invincible) says that it can drop a random Seraph weapon. Maybe both pages are wrong, but that seems a bit unlikely...

Interfacer is the most powerful shotgun in the game. Very powerful.

To the OP, Splatguns are decent in normal, but once you get to TVHM and especially UVHM they tend to not do enough damage to justify the ammo consumption and their range is really lousy.

The slowhand is ok on everyone, but probably best on krieg, as he can make the lousy reloads negligable(Bloodlust can increase mag-size).
