You can snipe someone with the shotgun Alan, it doesn't kill them but you can damage them with virtually every single shot. From Thorn Patch deploy on Lowlands to the beginning area of were the landlocked generator's outside little U shaped design starts, it takes like 5 hp off of a ranger per shot. Now chase a ranger the entire length of an open map such as sirocco and tell me you can't wear them down by the time they get back to their node. The fact that it doesn't spread to a ridiculous amount by the time it gets that far, neverminding the fact that it shouldn't get that far to begin with, it's accuracy should be between a .0001 and a .0002 percent chance of actually clipping them
