[b]The Chaperone[/b] - needs some love (rank up)
Here's a few things about shotguns using slugs for you ignorant Philistines:
* A slug has a longer effective range than buckshot (Matador) or birdshot (other available shotguns); A 50-75 yard shot on a deer is usually well within the performance capability of a shotgun shooting slugs!
* When using a barrel designed to shoot slugs or precise iron sights (Tex Mechanica -> The Chaperone?) this range is extended even further! (We're missing range).
* Though a shotgun shooting slugs will not even come close to matching the effective range of most centerfire rifles, it can easilly be used to take ethical shots on animals 2-3x further away than a shotgun with buckshot (The Chaperone is missing range!)
* Additionally, since a slug is a single large diameter projectile, it makes a very big hole in whatever it hits (The Chaperone is missing impact);
* Shotgun slugs retain their energy better and typically penetrate much deeper than buckshot (like the previous more impact);
* A shotgun shooting a slug is also far more precise than a shotgun shooting buckshot. This means less margin for error (The Chaperone is missing aim assist);
Now can we have The Chaperone fixed? This are all real world valid reasons.... I don't care what you do to the Blunderbuss (Matador), but at least fix the goddam EXOTIC The Chaperone to act accordingly to it's technical details, not to mention it's a goddam Tex Mechanica piece! Not some blunderbuss any idiot can fire!

Chaperone is totally fine. Its an Sci-fi Shooter, dont bring real world stats to make something happen. If you hit headshots the Chaperone has a better Range than a Matador. With Roadborn active it has a better Range than any Shotgun in the game. It has a pretty tough skillcurve. But this is what makes it special.
