[NEW] - Weapon Suggestion: Short Barreled Shotgun
'''NOTICE: This is only a suggestion and is not even considered to be completely official. It is unlikely that a Weapon such as this will likely even be in the game at all. TL;DR is NOW included in this discussion!'''

Hey guys, so this shouldn't be of any surprise to some for a shotgun suggestion to be brought up, although in FPS games, certain shotguns can be deemed as secondaries - so for this, I will be discussing about the Short Barreled Shotgun. Please, check the discussion out to see what I have brought up this time!

Summary
This weapon is considered by many to be the short version of the DB Shotgun - which generally is under some circumstances. Removing parts of the longer barrel has guaranteed more viability due to it's lighter weight and smaller size to be the perfect secondary weapon.

The optional Double Fire Attachment is also included to make this gun even more powerful. However, it holds 3 forms of 3 customize-able shells to choose from - Bird-Shot, Buck-Shot & Slug-Shot, both of which with different pellets, range, damage and ammo count to be of multi-purpose depending on your situation.

Background Story
L-Brain Sidework has many glorious profits from the success of the DB Shotgun, that it was just enough to make R-Brain Hardwork rather tiresome on hearing their gloating. While the Spas-12 was a success for their end, they decided to make due with another double barreled shotgun - however, in a sawed off version.

While L-Brain Sidework never approved of them to make modifications to their original product, It had not stopped them on making a finer quality SB Shotgun to hold 3 types of Shells that L-Brain Sidework could not - with a catch on a higher cost for a longer lasting weapon. While Survivors will be taking these weapons for granted, it was yet another victim of legal claims under the two dominant industries for some time.

SB Shotgun - Shotgun Shell Information
Bird-Shot Shell - (Starter)

Bird-shot is the starter shell Players will use when owning the weapon for the first time. While it has a lot of pellets and longer range to hit - perhaps multiple of targets, it may take more shots to efficiently kill certain mobs. Your big concern would be the wider pellet spread and weaker damage the farther you are.

This shell is to be used on crowd control or if the user is not wishing to focus heavily on aiming.

Buck-Shot Shell - (Attachment)

Alike to what the DB Shotgun uses (except with more pellets), the Buck-Shot has 9 pellets that can deal a decent amount of damage, but may lack the range and have a wider spread out of the two shells.. .

This shell requires the user to be rather closer for most of it's rounds to hit it's target for an efficient kill.

Slug-Shot Shell - (Attachment)

The Slug-Shell is basically one hunk of metal, which would deal an insane amount of damage, an improvement on accuracy and a hard impact to kill 2 mobs in a line. However, you would have one shot and a lowered ammo count by -2, and at a correct distance for a instant-kill.

This shell is to be used sparingly unlike the other shells, and requiring luck to hit your target precisely in PvP based Servers/Modes.

Pros

 * Plentiful in Attachments
 * Benefits on Crouch Accuracy
 * High Range

Mediocre

 * Moderate to Low Accuracy (Results Vary)
 * Moderate to High Damage (Results Vary)
 * Moderate to Low Ammo Count (Results Vary)
 * Moderate to High DPS (Results Vary)

Cons

 * Expensive (Weapon + Attachments)
 * High Rank

TL;DR
[Straight To The Point]: View Statistics & SB Shotgun - Shotgun Shell Information for a brief view on how this shotgun's mechanics work - then post your opinions on what changes could be needed.

[Other Notes]: It is not required to read everything. If you wish to do so - do what pleases you.

[EDITS]: - N/A

Conclusion
And that concludes the Discussion.

But hey, this is only a suggestion! So if it does get accepted, do not take the stats/model listed here as fact - as they are succeptable to change by the owner's decision.

Hopefully you guys like my suggestion!

Feel free to leave a kudo - either by love or liberty - I am not forcing any of you to like this.
