Several people are telling, that the shotgun deals randomly very low, and sometimes more (normal) damage.
"Gews" told us, that the speed of the snaploaded-shells is lower, than the handloaded shells.
Maybe this is the problem?

I couldn't test it by myself, because i didn't have enough "spare" ammo to do so.

Hey survivors!
We have retested this problem and we haven't found anything wrong with the way shotguns perform. I will close this as fixed.

Near the bottom, but before the hotfix section.
yup, dmg loss is ~71.111%.
needs to be fixed, since snap/speedloader should be an up-, not a downgrade, actually.
Snaploader has a muzzle velocity of 260 m/s
Regular pellets don't have a velocity set, so end up inheriting it from the magazine base class, which is 900 m/s
Quite a big difference
