They simply don't do enough damage.
A proto shotgun with a complex damage mod is just barely good enough to take down an STD suit in one shot.
Shotguns NEED the one shot killing power, since their DPS is garbage.
Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives.

Just be as close as you can and when possible, aim for the head.
You're literally hugging them.
I'm talking 3m range.

CreoDron the same. With no damage mods. I think proficiency increases ROF. I don't understand, maybe its the hit detection cause Allotek and CreoDron OHKed EVERY suit.
I hug a medium suit and yet it still doesn't one shot kill ADV-PRO

I could get on board with an optimal range increase and dispertion decrease (we are how far in the future and they don't make chokes?) but i'm not sure about a straight damage increase.
You should get killed by ONE shot.
The shotgun's range is 4 meters.
Jus think about it for a second.

I do.
Bad DPS, 4m range, slow fire rate...

What practice?
I know how to stealth around, I know how to flank and I know how to get real close and personal with enemies.
It's a necessity when you're using the closest range weapons on the 2nd slowest assault suit.
I get close, hugging the enemy, boom to the head/center of mass.
If that doesn't insta kill a medium frame, it's broken and I might as well use a rifle.

Futuristic shotguns.
These arguments are always amusing and there is always a simple and easy response.

Shotguns NEED the one shot killing power, since their DPS is garbage. while I don't think you're assessment is bad I don't think it's particularly accurate. alpha: moderate DPS: poor fire rate: abysmal range: abysmal reload speed: poor ammo capacity; moderate/low there just isn't enough positives to make it a viable combat weapon
Which is exactly why it needs that massive alpha.

Nova knives are sidearms and take no ammo.
