The shotgun is highly unrealistic in terms of distance. There is no way in heck that you should be able to effectively snipe someone with a shotgun from over 100 yards.
) and can kill in 1-2 hits. Another plus is that the iron sights are great for aiming and the gun does not take up a ton of room, blocking your vision. You can use it at close and medium range, but on a level like Office, its amazing.

. I think Captain Wes would look cute and harmless with a weapon such as that.

If they were to swap out the RPK for a PKM, they'd have to include a M240G for the Marine component. The 7.62x54R and 7.62x51mm NATO are hi-power .30 cal rounds. The 5.56x45mm and 7.62.39mm are far less powerful, ballistically speaking.
The thing that bothers me about the shottie is that the weapon sound seems a little incongruent with an actual scatter cannon. And regarding the ammo loads for the shotguns, standard combat loads are 00 Buckshot, they do make 000 or 0000 though. With a super full choke, you could reach out to 100 yds.
All that said, I would say my favorite is the M25 Sniper Weapon System. Precision, semi-auto .308, what more could you ask for?

5.56 NATO is the .223 caliber, 7.62 is the .308 caliber.![]()
The only reason that the military, not including the coast guard, uses shotguns are for breaching doors and locks as well as policing action (ala the worthless MP's) The rounds used by the united states military are no different than something you could go to your local weapons dealer and buy. Of course, we have non-lethal and less than lethal rounds as well. A 12 guage shotgun or even a 20 guage full choke still isnt going to kill a person 1 or even 2 shots from over 100 yards. Sure, it will hurt like heck but its not going to be an ultimate life ender like a sniper rifle like the game tries to represent.
, point blank shotgun trauma is fatal.
