Still shotguns are being hated in JA series after playing Jagged Alliance: Back In Action demo
So far I have not found shotguns is not sufficient in JA2 series. There was not effective distance is not about to average handgun just because of pellet spread. It supposed to do less damage as compared to handguns. It did not effective until and unless it is equipped with barrel extender and it has been used by merc with high accuracy. In the demo version fire made by the shotguns are crap and rate of fire seems to be atrocious. I have also tried with kind of experiments where mercs are covering with corner by making use of pump action and got the shotgun into inventory. I cannot imagine whether an issue with how game is supposed to handling the spread of shotgun pellets or fire rate is being handled by dexterity.

Well Shotguns are on god armored Enemies. If there is short distance between head and shotgun can could cause a good hit. The issue is that bullets are supposed to share energy and normal bullet are having high energy on the short area. Whereas Shotgun bullet is having high energy on the big area. Other weapons are better than that of the shotguns. assault rifle with the distance of over 500m and you have to get 40m, for a pistol it will have distance of 50m and effective distance should be 10to 15m the effective distance for shotgun is 40m.

If you have hit someone by using shotgun then he will fly meters back order to get the heavy wounds because of big muzzle. An assault gun is hvang bullet size of 7.62mm whereas shotgun is having 18mm bullets. So it will give an appropriate reputation to the weapon. The things is that you can use them with the expensive munitions or into the short distance.

After going through the thread I wanted to tell you that in the real world scenario shotguns are being used in close combat fight since we don’t require accurate aim while fighting. There are couples of kind of ammo in the game. once of them are spread widely and one of them are targeting on one of the point. If you are hitting any enemy who is not having any second type weapon then that enemy would be killed instantly.
In the demo version of the game found that enemies are having accurate weapon. They are able to hit by making use of submachine from the long distance as they are supposed to do by using assault rifles.

Shotgun seems to be powerful when you are playing game at the initial stage. Especially while fighting into close combat and into open level Assault rifles could be the best option.
