I've recently been tooling around with the shotguns. I was kind of surprised to see that there are some long range scopes available. Especially for a weapon with such a limited range. Does anyone have/use these upgrades for the shotgun and are they even worth using?
Why are there extended range scopes for shotguns

Coupled with the "Slug" ammo, you can do some serious damage with a scoped shotgun. It's got both short range lethality and long range damage.
There's some NSFW language in this video, but the guy's having fun with it, so:
Shotguns do small amounts of damage at range, but if you've got one that's semi- or full- auto, you can take people down faster than you'd think. When you factor in latency, shotguns with pellet-style ammo can sometimes win simply because they fire more bullets simultaneously.
