Our GM allows almost anny ammo type in a shotgun. I carry a mosberg and a
clip of each. Burst of explosives into a wall gives me a new door. Gell
rounds take them down with minimal physical harm, and can knock down almost
anyone/thing. Sabots work graet for vehicles and folks with cover. This is,
of course, not a concealable or stealtlhy weapon, but it has its place.

PS I was also the griper about scatter, and yeah, I can stage it up real
bad. Guess I'd shoot myself in the foot for realism.
