Shotguns are out of hand right now, no way to appraise the balance of any other weapon with them in play.
If you want a true vision of what needs what, then you need to add a shotgun free game mode just for that.

Nonsense. Shotguns are out of hand for a very specific reason. Primary weapons are not being allowed to kill fast enough to be a threat to shotgun users who have been caught out of shotgun range in a fight. They know that they can simply run at you; skate at you; blink at you; slide at you; shadestep at you.... ...and close to shotgun range before you can kill them with any of the game's primaries. In fact, unless you backpedal, they can simply rush you from all the way out to mid-range...and make NO effort to evade your fire...and still win. Basically, anyone armed with a primary weapon is simply not a credible threat to anyone armed with a shotgun, because they're so underpowered relative to the speed at which players can move.

Those are my thoughts exactly.
