Here me out... Bean Bag Shotguns, anyone?

Hello guardians, and guardians alike, I have come baring the brainiest of ideas. It's a little goofy, and yes, I know, I missed April Fools day. But just three words for you to consider. Bean. Bag. Shotguns. Here me out, hear me out... Bean bag shotguns are primarily used in terms of controlling crowds, and not so much of killing a target. So as I think logically, the damage of them could be 25 percent of the usual damage of a standard SG (or maybe the equal strength of a melee attack, or more, since you are getting hit by plenty of pellets); however, it knocks back the opponent. As to how much they should be knocked back should vary. Lighter targets, like Psions, dregs, acolytes, etc (red bars essentially) should be knocked back ~10 meters. Enemies like Knights, Centurions, Captains, etc (yellow bars) should be knocked back ~5 meters and leave a 0.5 or a 1 second stun. And harder enemies, like colossus', gladiators, minotaurs, hydras, etc (essentially heavy-looking enemies) are knocked back 1-3 meters, but are left with a 1 second stun. Now you may ask, "well, what about bosses?" Bosses are knockback resistant, and can't be stunned. Personally, I feel like the bean bag shotguns would be abused in that case, what with 3 guardians essentially Sparta-Kicking (or "Bean & Cheesing" is what I'd call it) the boss off the map, and insta-killing it. As to how this would be implemented, whether it should be an ammo type, or a frame, I feel like it should be more so a new weapon entirely, a frame. Just so we know in crucible what we're going to get slapped by, a bean stick or a boom stick. Another idea that I think would be really fun with these bean bag shotguns is that you can also push your fireteam, giving them the same knockback as a lighter enemy, just so it gives guardians a little fun to mess around, or even to assist them in flying in the air faster (titans would surely need it). Anyways, guardians, that's the idea I just magically thought about, and I would LOVE to hear your feedback! Lemme know if you think it's a good idea, or if you think it's absolutely baloney and should be thrown in the Fire of Bad Ideas. Thanks again, and have an awesome day!
