    I wish there was one-handed shotguns (Like, sawed-off or just shorter), so I could use one with a shield.

    1H weapons are highly preferred over 2H so I can block what I can't dodge.. It also makes bosses MUCH easier.. I just need to find a decent 1H gun.. =/

    Are you willing to use mods?

    *prepares to make (potentially vanilla-compatible?) 1-h shotguns with half baseDps for balance*

    Wow someone that doesn't want an over powered mod (gets on creative mode and spawns overpowered gun)

    I hate overpowered mods. :/

    I mean, I nerfed my arm cannons twice because they were just too bloody powerful, and I want to make the charge shots cost more because it's kinda strong to be able to hit so hard for minimal energy cost.. But it just isn't possible right now.

    Back to shotguns, working on the hand shotguns now, almost ready. They have the same damage as pistols and are one-handed, otherwise they're the same as 2-hand ones.

    One weird thing though, uncommon plasma shotguns (and only this one specific type of shotgun) have 0.5 to 2.0 attack speed. All other shotguns have 0.5 to 4.0 attack speed. This means uncommonplasmashotgun is more often the most damage per shot of all types of shotguns, in vanilla. Weird.

    I only use op mods because i try to focus on building, but after I've got a base structure I just build turrets... :rofl:

    Nearing completion. I'm in the process of shortening all of the vanilla shotgun sprite-parts. And they're going to be called "Hand Shotgun" or "Plasma Hand Shotgun".

    Using vanilla namegen and ammo types. Just gotta finish sprite-work and setup the mod files and common treasurepools, and we're set.

    Aside from changing from 2-hand to 1-hand, and lowering damage to pistol levels, they're the same as full size shotguns, but stubby. So far they look good.

    Edit 1: Okay, everything is working except the spread doesn't happen for no reason whatsoever. Trying to figure it out. All I changed in the copied generatedgun files are damage, and made them 1 handed. It makes no sense but the spread just isn't happening.
    Code:
    { "edit" : 2,
       "explanation" : "It is impossible to make custom shotguns currently, a workaround is to make custom projectiles, I don't have the time for that right now.",
       "irritation" : [3, 8]
    }

    For me, I use 3 weapon types. First is any strong 2-handed weapon I get (Apex Violum 2-Handed right now). Second is a 2-handed range (Over-Powered sniper my friend died 7 times for). And third is a 1-handed pistol with a shield or flashlight (Using pistol that shoots a plasma ball that explodes after a while, and a tier x Roman shield).
