There are more balancing factors that contribute to guns that people don't seem to realize. Bullet damage is not the only thing, there is so much you can tinker with. Clip size, bullet speed, reload speed, damage dropoff. All these things can be balanced to make shotguns a gun with purpose.

Clearly Era is so awesome and unique that it's the only game with guns I know that would be absolutely broken if shotguns were to act as the way they have always acted in every other game ever.

era is not supposed to be a realistic game
and how do u not get close if ur in a small place (i.e. elevator) or someone is holding a door?? u cant give a good opinion, simply cuz u dnt play era
i can assure u that shotguns r fine as they r

Everything would have to be rebalanced, and if done properly, it could definitely work.

shotguns r the opposite now..they r used for far ranging due to the spread of bullets
i understand it isnt realistic but i dnt think era should be realistic, anyone who wants to play a realistic game wouldnt play graal

Who ever said realistic? I said EVERY OTHER game. Cartoony, realistic... it doesn't matter, they all implement shotguns in roughly the same manner. Why? Because it works.
