You do understand it is a plasma shotgun? Also what you think is a water canister is likely near truth water is a rather common coolant still.

The shield on the side houses the recoil dampener, without it the shotgun would likely rip your arm off.

The armature is wide to give it a shotgun pattern unlike blasters (the difference between a narrow hose and a really wide mouthed hose) and the plasma rifle which amatures are much tighter and more constrained and has multiple bearing on it.

do yall have some kind of bloody lore book floating around for all the unexplainable crap in dust ? for example shield extenders for vehicles inhibiting your movement capabilities more than armor plates(explanation was lore despite one having a listed speed penalty and the other not)

im no eve player never will be.

i wish ccp would stop marketing eve and dust together it really sucks for those of us who have no interest in eve and never will.

Now i have the urge to shotgun everyone in the game. Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness.

Using the entire forearm makes it look powerful (inb4 shotty gimped). Like, a pump action is says "I'ma ** you up". A shotgun the length of your arm says "I'm gonna ** you, your kids, your parents, your dog, and everyone you've ever had any contact with up".

Would be cool if that shield on Shotty actually worked like extra armor that scales proportionate to the area it covers. It would cover only a small area of a medium suit but up to 75% of a scout's torso. It would be neat if scouts got, for example, 50hp out of it, mediums 30 extra and heavies 20.

Explosive shotgun? Shoots out little explosives that blow at 10m or make contact with a surface. Or rusty bits of shrapnel.

That 'shield' is a full arm brace that prevents the short range plasma shrapnel flamethrower colloquially called the 'shotgun' from ripping the users arm off or flying out of their hands then exploding every time it's shot. The 'pump action' floods the plasma flamethrower / shrapnel chamber with coolant preventing it from detonating in the users hands.

Serious. Eve fanboyism is really annoying - pretending that Dust is based on some genius ideas that console peasant are just incapable of grasping. The truth of the matter Dust is not connected to Eve and some concept art may have made sense in some Dev's head 5 years ago when the two games were supposed to be integrated but now we just have funny gun looks that few ppl like.
Sirpidey Adtur Aloren Foundations 88	Posted - 2013.11.02 17:14:00 - [18] - Quote Leovarian L Lavitz wrote: Racial shotguns :D I do think each race should have their own unique light slot CQC weapon, not neccecarially a shotgun. For Minmitar, I think a standard projectile shotgun would work quite well. Slightly longer range, lower spread, lower damage, use a projectile damage profile. For Amarr, I was thinking a short range, wide scan radiation gun. Think a 10 foot long, 30degree cone, that standing in it gives horrible horrible radiation poisoning. Caldari is a bit harder to think of, since racially they use missiles, railguns, and rockets. The first two are fairly long range, so that leaves rockets. I was thinking... super short range, homing sticky mines. They deal high DPS, but have a long delay from shot until damage, giving the enemy ample time to retaliate.
