Shotguns Should Get a Buff to Range or...
... they need to be given shot package back. Being a person who mainly snipes in PvP but has plenty of time with shotguns, I think I have a pretty good opinion on what's going on between shotguns and snipers right now.
Personally, I think that shotguns are way [b]too weak[/b] compared to snipers right now. However, [b]that is not to be confused with saying that snipers are too strong[/b] right now. The only thing I believe really needs to be addressed about snipers is the amount of flinch there is when getting hit. There's definitely not enough. There are way too many situations I've been in where I think I have the upper hand on a sniper because I'm gunning them down with a primary and still yet they manage to headshot me. So that, in my opinion, should be addressed.
Now, on the other hand I just think that shotguns got hit way too hard by the nerf they got when Year two began. Using my rangefinder/final round/max range Party Crasher +1 was fun in Iron Banner yesterday. However there were so many moments that should've been guaranteed one shot kills, and yet they weren't. So I think Bungie needs to do two of three things. And those are to give us Shot Package back, boost the range on shotguns, and increase the handling on all shotguns (let's face it, using a shotgun feels no different than having a machine gun in your hands and it's kind of ridiculous).
Those are my thoughts on shotguns. What do you think?

They're not meant to be medium-range weapons, and since the TTK for primaries other than the Thorn/MIDA/DoP/TLW group is so low, it would make them unstoppable. Like you, I'm mainly a sniper in PvP, but I do use shotguns occasionally, and actually mained with them in TDB. They're just fine where they are. They're good in close range, especially ones with faster fire rates like Invective or the Patch-A. You shouldn't be allowed to use them as primary weapons, and that's a good thing. If you're gonna try to primary me with a shotgun, if I have enough time, I'll just burn you down. If I can't, I'll just run, bait you and throw a tripmine on your face as you walk through the door (lol). Also, it's a shotgun. Shotguns are not stable weapons in reality, and they don't need to be. They use buckshot, and it rips through anything within close-range of them. I do agree on the sniping idea, though. They should flinch a bit more when under fire that is legitimate damage, such as scout rifles or in-range hand cannons.
