And yeah, Opey could probably win that game without using his BR. Best SMG user in Halo.

It's a shotgun, so it shouldn't have long range.


Are you retarded? Have you ever even fired a real shotgun? People use shotguns to take out birds 30 feet away. I'm not saying it should be that far, but God! A non-host shotgun [if there's still that glitch in Halo 3, which I hope they fix] should be able to take out a sword in mid-swing. And some bullets should still travel forward. They don't all stop! Jeez, in Halo 2, it's like a wall of bullets that suddenly stop 5 feet in front of you. Here's how it should go: An instant kill at 1-4 feet. Then at 3 feet, the bullets start to spread out. The bullets in the middle should still travel at least 20 feet.

I said no because a shotgun is considered a close range weapon... but they should consider the power of the shotgun; it needs to be a little more powerful upclose.

Yeah, I meen, it's a 10 Gauge, and it has a rather long barrel, it should be able to atleast do 1/3 damage at 8m and instant kill at like, 3m.

Leave it how it is. I just want how it's held to be different/cosmetic upgrades. It is always fine for me. I would make it [i]slightly[i] more increased range, by a tiny bit. It's a shotgun, so it shouldn't have long range.

Increase range by a little and make it more like a shotgun than some flare gun.

You people who say the Shotgun is "supposed to be that short ranged" obviously don't know anything about a shotgun and/or never have fired an actual one before. There are some things I can't say, because it would be a threat-but it has to do with you standing in the middle of a field while I demonstrate with a shotgun that it works quite well from afar.

If it's so "short range" like "how it is in Halo 2", then why are Shotguns used in hunting? Wouldn't the game flee by the time you run up 2 feet beside them to fire? If shotguns are really that short range like it is in Halo 2, then how does Dick Cheney think his hunting buddy is game and pelted his face with his shotgun? Fact: Shotguns do work at medium-ranges(and for huge 8 Gauges?). It may or may not be enough to kill, but it definately does some damage and puts the target in a world of hurt.

The Elite Sniper is right.

if your host you can pretty much snipe with the shotgun, and you all know what im talking about

I have walked the edge of the Abyss. I have governed the unwilling. I have witnessed countless empires break before me. I have seen the most courageous soldiers fall away in fear. [I was there with the Angel at the tomb] I have seen your future. And I have learned.There will be no more Sadness. No more Anger. No more Envy. I HAVE WON. Oh, and your poet Eliot had it all wrong: THIS is the way the world ends. -Cortana

Dont make the range farther just turn up the damage.
