How to fix shotguns in 4 easy steps:

Step 1: Remove shotgun distance falloff.

Step 2: Buff Point Blank's base increment by ~50-75%.

Step 3: Add option to switch between slugs (1x pellet) or buckshot (?x pellets) as bullets. [Could be done via similar system as stances - one being slug, the other buck - this would work with mechanics that alreaady exist in-game. Heck, various inventive ammo types/mechanics could be added like this.]

Step 4: Have sex.

There. Fixed. It's easy.

Note: IRL a shotgun has about as much falloff as any other bullet, meaning the falloff mechanic is complete bullshit meant to hamfist shotguns into CQC for some bizzare reason only DE can comprehend (my best guess is that it stemms from taking Hollywood bullet-physics as fact). Seriously, there is literally no good reason to have it there except a failed attempt at 'ballance' by someone that clearly has not used real or even their own fictional shotguns.
