Look, I know Bungie's goal for shotguns. Incredibly short range, incredibly powerful. However, it seems that the shotguns lose almost all damage roughly at the muzzle of the gun. If the barrel isn't touching your target, it's likely to take an entire magazine to kill. Shotguns may have been overused before 1.1.1, but why not nerf the damage instead of the range? IMO, the range was too short to begin with. I'm fairly sure that basic Guardian melee has a longer lethal range than the shotguns now. I'd love to see some other rational thoughts on the topic and not just every insult you can think of about my negative k/d. Back to using Murmur for me....
