    NPC Shotguns: Bugged?

    I had a thought that maybe the NPC shotguns are bugged.

    A lot of people seem to think the range should be nerfed, which made me think about pellet spread.

    At the range they can take you down, I am wondering if there is any pellet spread at all on the NPC shotguns.

    It seems it is about the same number of shots to kill you regardless of range, and if there were proper pellet spread, at range, a lot of pellets should miss you.

    No other thoughts on this?

    How could we test it?

    Go to dz 3(?) extraction just south of the sports store, attract the attention of a shotgunner on the balcony watch him try to snipe you and lol.
    Their is little to no spread but with that said their is a damage drop (luckily) at a range as extreme as im presenting they will damage but it will be rather low and you wouldnt think shotgun on the rooftop across the street.

    The range needs nerfing. Not sure if they are slug rounds, but shotgunners are better at sniping than snipers at the moment, XD
