Weapon Suggestion: Slug Shotgun

[FunkyEntropy]

We need more shotguns!  Since the ones we've got already have their own niche, I think a shotgun that fires slugs instead of pellets could be a place to expand the sorely limited field of shotties we have now.

 

What I'm looking for:

 

+High DMG (obscene burst, med~low dps)

+Armor Piercing or innate penetration

+Good accuracy

+quick or mediocre reload

+Maybe some form of stagger or knockback

 

-Very low magazing size (like 1~2 shots)

-Medium or slow ROF

 

Visuals:  Horizontal foregrip, big and meaty gun.

Audio:  This puppy roars like a cannon when it fires.

This is a great idea to add to the very small pool of shotguns. Maybe a badass looking double-barrel?

Another Slug suggestion? Oh my.

It should have longer reload times like all the Shotguns(excluding Broncos). RoF shouldn't be too low or you might as well add a cannon instead. Also, as a slug it should have greatly increased damage falloff range compared to the other shotguns.

hell, why not just add a canon to the game. Those would work WAY better than a measly shotgun.

That's silly.  Where would you find the horse to cart your cannon around?  You're in SPACE.  There are no more space-horses.  They died out years ago.

Grineer have cloning technology right? Disposable space-horse time. Failing that we can just strap it to a Charger or two.

This is a great idea.

 

It should be able to deal high ignore armor damage in order to kill anything at any level by using 1~4 shots(with mods).

The weapon should also have increased damage falloff range compared to the other shotguns, even Hek.

To balance this weapon, it should have no polarities, and only one shot per magazine, meaning that you need to reload after you shoot every time.

The reloading speed should be faster than the charging speed of Paris but slower than that of Kunai.

Then just make it a cannon that uses Shotgun mods

give it ammo drum look so it could have like 4 to 5 clip but instead reloading the mags it reloads by inserting one clip at a time...

Loading slug by slug into a tube would be an interesting change and make it seem more like a shotgun. With the Hek having 4 shells, the Strun with 6 and the Boar with 10, it should have a capacity of 5 to fit in I guess.

Something like the Slugthrower in Soldier of Fortune, anyone remember that one? I dig.

Previously I'd thought of a similar idea only instead of an entirely new gun, it was a mod that would assimilate the dealt by all the pellets into a single slug and get a bit more accurate.

here you have a shotty, not a slug because thats just a rifle useing great kaliber(but could be an idea for shotgunmod like thunderbolt/paris)

When i saw the topic name, this is the first thing that came up in my mind:

My nephew watches this cartoon all day long if you let him...

 

Anyways, i like Slug weapons but im not shure a shotgun would be a nice weapon to use them. There are already too many projectile weapons currently in the game and i think they have been working on making more chemical/energy based weapons in current updates.

 

I was thinking of a weapon the other day that would be based on a Shotgun.

 

The Screamer:

Sonic Wave weapon. Low Fire Rate, Mid Reload time, no Spread, ignores armor, hits all enemies in a line, damage decreases with range.

You want a weapon that fires slugs that isn't a shotgun? There are already too many projectile weapons? What?

I support this image, if only as a reskin of the Hek.

 

On topic:

 

A double barrel, eight gauge slug gun? I can see this being useful as hell.

 

+1

How about making it a bleeding weapon? I've seen real life slug go into targets and just shatter everywhere throughout the inside of them. Just give it a slow fire speed and maybe a 5 second bleed effect.

When you said that, I was reminded of this bad boy:
