woah woah holup, before you X me like literally every other shotgun post. this is special, like the title says, beanbag shotguns are less lethal than a standard shotgun. less doesn't mean non. it will totally kill anyone when shot at the head at point blank
As a beanbag round, it is grouped together and is meant to cause internal bleeding and broken ribcages. so it will deal damage at range but also not necessarily instakill someone if shot at the body. anyone, regardless of armour would definitely feel the pain inflicted by such a gun
for example
##the pump
50 damage to body, 2.1x head multipler
damage falloff from 5 metres, with 50 metres only dealing only 28 damage
##the auto
20 damage to body, 1.5x head multipler
damage fall off at 2 metres, with 50 metres only doing 12 damage
##good ol double
40 damage to the body, a crazy 2.6 head multipler with fall off from 12 metres, with 50 metres doing a tragic 30 damage
just imagine
a shotgun that will destroy at close range but still require skill to use and not a noob gun. isn't useless at range. can be easily added to the game as bean rounds are considered a single projectile, so you won't complain about the spread and shit. can be fun and not as frustrating to play against. fyi players are already doing this with the sniper, so why not..
(if you are going to slap me with saying about slugs. slugs are meant to kill from like any range, regardless body or headshot)
edit: to add on to this. shotguns will ignore armour (it won't break armour, it will deal damage directly instead)
