I was wondering in what situations people prefer shotguns over other similarly sized items? Do you find the horrible AP mod of flechettes prohibit their use? My other problem is the lack of GasVent coupled with full auto seems to make them worse for large bursts than just about anything else. The only real advantage I see is trying to hit a very dodge prone character with low armor. Any advice on how to better utilize them?
