The list of shotguns is down to 2 to me, and really 1. It's a Moz with hammer point or a Peacekeeper. The Eva is nerfed too hard, and the Mastiff, with 4 shots in a spread, even as a red weapon, isn't like the old drop Mastiff, not even close.
Any weapon can put someone down but SMGs hurt from no barrel mods, the laser sight isn't so great. I still would run a Volt, CAR, or R-99 over anything besides a Peacekeeper tho.
Shotguns are weak, I blame screaming and crying over being one shot killed at point blank range (which is definitely the fault of the target, but no, blame the shotgun). Shotguns are nerfed across all games because players prefer auto losses in 10+ bullets rather than 1 bullet/shell. It makes them feel better emotionally about their loss, while letting them ignore the mistakes they made.
