And Theo, no need for the cynical thoughts, the shotgun is being worked on by the devs, and they are doing all they can, so if you are of the opinion that the shotgun is not the way you would like it to be, post here a reasonable idea with how exactly you would like the devs change the shotgun. And another thing, don't generalize. All shotgun users aren't necessarily noobs, it just happens to be a quite easy weapon to handle, hence the reason why so many newcomers use it.
