Shotguns in game are typically not all that often used, since SMGs are much better for assaulters,partisans, and APC drivers; and while they do get used more with engineers, rifles still get used more often with engineers due to versatility, but is nice to have more variety in playstyle. Outside of these classes, no class can use shotguns, but I think that should be changed. Shotguns are an interesting alternative to rifles that do have definite benefits, but are not really more powerful than rifles, due to the limitation of range they have that rifles don’t have to worry about. I think that making these universal weapons (as in available for every class), this will still be a sidegrad to rifles in a lot of cases, but let classes previously stuck with only rifles have a new playstyle, like engineers without the construction hammer.
