We play tested last night and the new shotgun works very well. It's very satisfying. It bursts 10 shots in about half a second, and each shot does 34% damage, so landing three or more will get you a one shot kill. during a few firefights I got hit, but not enough to get me fully out - which I think is the sweet spot I want it to be at. I think the burst does make it easier to aim and land a hit. I think I will be expanding this method to both the sniper and the rocket launcher since both of those prove to be more difficult to get kill shots with.
