IT's a melee weapon, not a gun. The shotgun blast registers as a melee attack as well. Anything you kill with the shotgun blast will count as a melee kill. Also it uses no ammo, has infinite or what seems like infinite range, easily does 30k to 100k damage per shot and if aimed right it will blast (and kill) a whole group of enemies if they are close together (such as coming at you through a door or narrow hall).

so with all of that and the fact that it benefits from melee mods, DE doesn't need to buff this. In fact, they might nerf it because it can one shot anything in the game that isn't a boss. I'm one shotting level 105 enemies, grineer, infested, corpus, it doesn't matter...they all go down with one shot 90% of the time, two shots if you don't hit the head.
