Shotguns horribly underpowered, or is it just me?

The original, free Ace of Spades game powered by the Voxlap engine. Known as “Classic,” 0.75, 0.76, and all 0.x versions. Created by Ben Aksoy.

Haven't really thought of the Shotgun as underpowered. For me, it has demolished anything at pointblank range, I've killed people at close-to-mid in one shot by ironsighting, and I've peppered people just before the fog line with it.

Then again, after playing years of TTT and dealing with how terrible hit detection is with shotguns (or multi-shot weapons), maybe this gun just feels godlike to me.

Shotguns are, well, shotguns. They're only basically effective at close range. They're more of a "fun gun," if you will. Frankly, in any other game, shotguns aren't that effective in medium range combat.

The SMG isn't necessarily overpowered, but they are used by a lot of newbies due to their easy use. However, once one graduates from using an SMG to a rifle, and once that rifle user gets good enough, he could potentially overcome any SMG users at close/medium range, the SMG's effective range.

tl;dr shotgun < SMG < rifle, but skill is required or something idk
That's what I said :c

-Can be used to create impressive, if not near indestructible structures.
-Block shots.
-Inefficient to remove with bullets, a spade is more efficient up close.
-Capable of blocking paths.

]I think this discussion has evolved to the point where no affirmation has been agreed upon, no conclusion has been made and the general opinion of the masses is left to stand in place of it.
