I hadn't been using shotties in TTK. I started using sidearms that worked out pretty good. I then tried out that Omolon fusion file from the Gunsmith. I wanted to like it, but the spread of the cone makes the range inconsistent, I still use it from time to time. The I got the Holliday quest that required shot gun kills. It was then I realized how much easier and efficient it was to kill with a shotgun. It just makes the most since right now. Hello Invective!
