Ten pellets or something like that .
Also, make better titles. I'm not trying to win any writing awards I mean that has nothing to do with the discussion at hand . Try to stay on topic please ... you started out strong and fizzled out at the end .
Has everything to do with the topic at hand.
And a better title = better answers from people who actually know what they're talking about - like shotgunners.

Ten ???
Edit : If so then that means that the resistance bonuses are garbage .
The shotgun should be a heavy weapon then if it deals that much damage . you know its funny you should say that... a while back there was a threadnaught about that very thing... it became a running joke for a while.... It should be considering the damage that it distributes . I'm not on the band wagon for such but considering the damage out put it seems kind of obvious .
It would be pretty underpowered for a heavy weapon, tbh. Assuming no overheat and continuous firing (cos I can't remember the HMG overheat values right now) you'd get 10.6s of firing, which, at 720 DPS at STD (18 damage per shot at 240 RPM) comes to 7600 damage per magazine. A STD SG deals 42 damage per pellet, and assuming twelve pellets (as someone said, although I think it's only ten) that comes to 504 damage per shot. At 8 shots a mag, and less than a second time between shots that comes to about 4k damage, which can be applied only within about 5m, as opposed to HMG's 25m.
Limiting the SG to heavy suits would necessitate a serious buff, either in range (which would render either it or HMG useless) or damage, which would be meaningless thanks to the pathetic speeds of Sentinels.
It's actually pretty balanced at the moment; fixing the way scouts can brick and still move as fast as assaults and fixing the cloak firing bug should sort it out as a weapon.
EDIT: and I think you misunderstand the thrust of my comment about the title; I'm simply saying that it's easier for all concerned if a title that describes the contents is given; a title like yours actually implies a troll post (which I'm not saying this was), which is what I came here expecting.
