Shotguns being a super short range thing is pretty game exclusive for balancing. Shotguns irl short of birdshot/buckshot or something actually are deadly at quite a decent range. There are slugs that have a similar effective range as some handguns.The Shotgun could be devastating in close Quarters but useless long-Range (like in Reality), add Spread and Throwback this would allow for more fun/advanced Tactics and Combat.
There's a youtube vid called "How Far Will a 12 Gauge Shotgun Kill?" that tests different ammo, kinda interesting. Something I didn't know is how even the weaker bullets are still lethal at quite a distance, they're just so inaccurate that you can't rely on it. Could always get lucky and still kill with them though. I wonder if there are any games that tried to emulate that rng instead of just saying "This gun does no damage past x range".
