I hate shotguns more than anything in this game. They lack in every category, fire rate *fart noise * reload *wet fart noise* ammo size *tiny fart noise* and last but not least the dmg *super long "I just ate taco bell fart noise* unless you are a foot away from an enemy you dont do shit. Fusion rifles are so -blam!-ing awesome though. 300 dmg per bullet? Awesome. range? Fan-blam!-ingtastic! Mag size? Good better than shotgun. The fact that my final rest has armor piercing rounds makes me jizz my pants. You really cant beat fusion rifles
