In multiplayer,its rare to kill instantly a 100hp and zero armor player,but normally inflicts ~95 damage, that means it can kill 150hp and zero armor in 2 shots,but if shot was not instant kill,you can kill instantly a 100hp and zero armor player or a pigcop with 1 shot + one kick,useful to kill instantly at very close range. It is a waste of ammo, and may be inaccurate. You should never use this weapon to hit shootable buttons. Shotgun ammo is pleantiful, so feel free to use it as much as possible. Switching to a weapon that suited for crowd control, like the Chaingun Cannon, is a much better idea. This weapon fires too slow to be very effective against medium to large-sized groups of enemies. The only enemy it really falters against is the Mini Battlelord and bosses because of how much health they have. It is powerful enough to quickly take down weak enemies, but is powerful enough to be quite effective on stronger enemies.
The shotgun is a solid weapon to use against almost every enemy type.Given the low ammo limit, it makes sense to conserve ammo where possible. As mentioned above, the Shotgun is much more effective at close range. Always try to use this weapon at close range.The trails are spread out a little, meaning distant enemies will likely only be hit by a couple of the trails, and so take less damage than they would at close range. When the Shotgun is fired, seven hitscan trails are projected from the player, with each trail inflicting 10 damage. It is a good, close range weapon, very damaging, but inaccurate at long distances. It resembles a Winchester 1300 Defender shotgun with forend pistol grip, heat shield and an extended magazine tube.
