Slide shotgunning is a joke.
If I, with a hand cannon, are laying rounds into someone who is 5 lengths away from, they should not have the ability to continue their slide and headshot me with the accuracy they currently have.
They should be getting flinched like mad because of two things. [b]Sliding and being hit[/b] at the same time. You shouldn't have ungodly aim in that scenario. (and no, they dont have unflinching mods).
I get shotguns have to have their purpose and roll in PVP but this is just ridiculous that its a free kill.
Also yes, I do it as well. And would be fine if I was on the receiving end of being flinched at murdered getting to someone because they already engaged before I did.
Some additional flinching or accuracy reduction would bring it inline.

Simple fix: Don't let them get within a shotgun range. Don't let them close the distance. Stay within primary fire range not up close and personal and it will never be a problem. I RARELY get shotgunned and if I ever do it is just their luck coming around a corner and me not paying attention.
