I am an avid lover of shotguns. It's just too bad game developers make them really hard to use properly in [b]PVE. [/b] Those guns require good sittuational awarness, reflexes and even a good aim. They require the most skill out of all the guns in PVE. Other guns can generally be used from distance, but with shotguns and their 2 meter range, you have to get to melee. Also because Nightfalls nearly always has "Light Switch"-skull, that makes it nearly impossible to use (combined with no stagger, ammo and elemental damage skulls). But... in the end, shotguns are just fun to use. Impractical, but fun to use.
