It's actually pretty effective, just a close range weapon. Takes out Libs a lot better than either of the other primaries, I can tell you that much. Not terrible against ESFs either, you just have to get in saddle.
Our scientists slaved over hot lego for hours figuring out how to put a shotgun onto a plane. And it worked god damn it. I'm looking forward to their efforts on all other vehicles. Srsly though, its great for taking out libs.
Cant see how this will help us. I just tryed it against some targets, every shot its like someone laugh in your face. TR maybe will feel like this with their M14 Banshee. But VS , with their Light PPA, its was like wtf. Cause its not that range limited. And well , after flying a Scythe or Mosquito, my reaver feels like flying some old glued together trash. And well a shotgun with 3 shots on a aircraft?
