Doing things such as improving the spawn system or reducing survivor access to area damage would help far more than rebalancing weapons, I just got mad because adding more broken weapons definitely does not help the situation. Suggestions like these are meant to be taken within the environment of the fact that it is a suggestion. Really, the goal for this (extremely high quality) suggestion is for it to be put into the game, so simply put ignoring extremely broad issues like the fact that there are already numerous broken weapons available for the survivors is a must, or else there's no point in making suggestions at all.

Addressing your concerns about the fact that this weapon is a shotgun and explosive all in one, I personally don't think it's that bad due to its situational use. It's like a really bad XMas launcher was added onto the weapon, so IMO it's balanced and unique. Having to shoot it to detonate early and using a magazine up to create the mine balances it out nicely.
