Shotguns in this game don’t work like they do in real life. The only game that gets them right that I know of is insurgency sandstorm. The range is stupidly short in enlisted Enlisted shotguns should work the same as insurgency sandstorm Shotguns are Scary Realistic in this game - YouTube
This is an example of how they should work.

I agree, shotguns are useless in enlisted.

I will say that it’s kind of funny how in game they are very rare to come across just like during the real war; ironically because of their performance in game

they used to be really good but a bunch of russians complained and since the devs coddle them, they got nerfed

You wouldn’t believe me if I told you that flamethrowers used to be trash and shotguns were the rage.

only until T2 flamethrowers came out. Even before the buff T2 flamethrowers were extremely powerful. Flamethrowers are really powerful now because fire pools behave unintuitively and you get set on fire in 0.00001s of looking at some nearby flames. Also they go through walls.
Agreed, I remember using the Luftwaffe drilling in Berlin when that campaign came out and it was pretty decent but tried it again recently and it’s pretty bad. The spread is terrible since you have a 25% chance at most to hit someone dead in front of you and that’s if the pellets stay in a nice pattern instead of teleporting to a different postal code and who knows where.

Actually browning auto 5 is a beast in the pacific.
Is the winchester 1912, the toz and the drilling that are useless crap for some reason
The only shotgun I use is the American one in the Pacific (dunno if it’s in other campaigns because I mostly Axis main). The German one I just sold. Completely useless in CQB because, sure, you’ll annihilate the first guy or two when you kick in the door and then they just yeet you while you frantically reload
