Some might argue that the current shotgun is way overpowered due to its high range, low spread and the fact that it shoots 5 projectiles equal to rifle bullets; even the single shell reload mechanism isn’t enough to counterbalance it.

The shotgun is rather underpowered at the moment because of the too slow reloading.

It’s already lacking the ability to lay down suppressive fire which is kind of important.

This combined with the one slug at a time reloading makes it shitty in most situations compared to other guns.

Maybe forget about reality and go for better gameplay = you automatically reload to maximum shells by reloading once?
