In Front Mission, the rapid fire special ability added more "pellets" to shotguns the sameway it added more rounds to a burst when using assault rifles. ... Front Mission... 4? 5? The one with Elsa - tried to use type advantages. Rifles did Pierce damage and Shotguns Impact/blunt damage. This brings us to classic RPGs... If you have 2 weapons that deal 1d6 damage, why take a club or a sword? --- "Salt cures Everything!"

Rifle is more consistent, shotgun has potential to win quicker situationally. --- Doctor Foxx posted...

EvilMegas 09/11/19 8:10:24 AM #3:	It's situational. If you have a close range fighter you typically want a close range weapon. My main strat in XCOM is to rush two guys in the hotzone to keep the targets in the same area, and support them with rifles and snipers. Also shotguns tend to have huge crit dmg. --- Official King of Black People https://imgur.com/Zk3VS3o http://imgur.com/a/UeQiE https://imgur.com/aSnCUuI <cite>EvilMegas posted [p:927278845] in In games l...
