You ever seen a human being get shot point blank with a shotgun? There's plenty Of Videos on the Internet of it. You barely need one shot to become nothing but a puddle mang. [spoiler]dont use the old "it's the future we have armor" excuse because come on if ur gonna be killing something in the future, weapons would have evolved along with armor to combat said armor. [/spoiler] Now when it comes to range yeah I can get ya there. Needs to be more likely halos shotgun in my opinion lol.
