    The Cuentista shorty shotgun is hilariously deadly with a range of 120 meters!

    I figured I'd bring it to the attention in hopes a mod or dev can report it up, or at least provide feedback if see if this was intentional or not. Either way, this is proof that the weapon stats shown in game do not directly correlate with how the weapon performs.

    Below is a very short video showing how the boss version of the Super Shorty shotgun can essentially "snipe" any enemy, alerted or not, heavy or regular, with one shot at up to 122 meters. My thinking now is that the regular super shorty's max range is 22 meters, so someone accidentally put a "1" in front of the 22 for this variant of the shotgun making it ridiculously over-powered for what it is.

    Gunsmith shows that it is a slug round loaded when you look down the barrel, however since there are multiple buckshot that ht the wall so it is not a slug projectile. Also, all the other shotguns max range between 22 meters to 70 meters, so having a shorty hit 122 meters with delivering this amount of damage is completely out of proportion. It's fun! Don't get me wrong. But not in line with the other shotguns by any means.

    please no dont nerf it! it hits things out to 134m but it only reliably kills out to 70max, it fires special coinshot loads that you learn about via the story. UBI if you do anything just give us 2 or 3 more shots before each reload and a red dot. then let me go on my merry way, laughing like a maniac while blasting people out of their boots. its my favourite shotty (only el suenos silencio to get) so far. the challenge of clearing a base with it is great. iv been practising loud stealth and it works but an extra shot or two would make me sooo happy. pretty please. the huntsman rifle turned out to be a double barrel disappointment and ive barely complained at all. honest.

    its custom made coinshot. remember you have to frame one of the bosses by leaving his personal custom shells at a murder scene. el cuentista is that bosses gun! think the game says the shells are loaded with dubloons. also the other shotguns are all weaksauce anyway. i really try to like them but they are just too pathetic.
