Okay, so I made the mistake of rushing this thing, and I can safely say that it's a piece of junk. In addition to the fact that the base model Hek (before you even consider the multishot mod for it) is almost twice as much damage and doesn't have the ammo problems this thing has. Oh, did you not hear about the unique ammo mechanic? Well allow me to explain! See the Kohm has a 245 round clip, with ~950 (I forget off hand, it's around there) in reserve. And for a shotgun that sounds great! Except that that's not the number of shots, that's the number of avialable pellets. That's right folks, this is the only shotgun in the game where you pay by the pellet. This makes ammo mutation borderline essential to this weapon, and even then I question if it'll be worth taking.

In addition, the pellets themselves have a pretty nasty arc to them (on par or worse than the Drakgoon). I haven't tried to test if they have damage falloff like a standard shotgun or not (if they do that's the final nail in the coffin for this thing), and frankly even if they don't I see any reason to take this thing over the Drakgoon or the Hek in any circumstance.
