Generally speaking....it would be great (where applicable) to add a breacher kit (with a shotgun) into the squad kit options (1 per faction).
It would add a great deal of variety and versatility to the squad without a great deal of effort.
Possibly providing it to the combat engineer to help the squad clear buildings when they're not setting up mines.
Just my thoughts tho.
Please feel free to provide your thoughts and recommendations.

before breaching kit we need doors
also i don't remember seeing a lot of shotguns in use by conventional forces IRL
wintry mirage
Me when the raider kit
also, adding that takes away from combat engineer and a short-range gun dude would have the same problem as a sniper and MMG roles already have just kinda a waste role

Once they add doors, this kit will be fun. There also the fact that other kits will be more effective on longer ranged maps than this one, but I’m not against it

The Americans used them quite a bit
I'm pretty sure they're also a standard component of Chinese squads, or were for the longest time

Shotguns were somewhat common amongst most nations forces during GWOT - But not for anti-personnel purposes, 99% of the time were used as a utility tool to blow the locks/hinges off of doors and gates.
Depending on the unit, every platoon or Squad would have atleast 1 shotgun for breaching purposes.

Isn't shotgun just safer for breeching you could use a regular rifle too.

Regular rifles sometimes have a "master key" which is an under barrel shotgun
Shotguns are used to blow the hinges off the door prior to entry

If you shoot a 5.56 at a hinge it will break too just that the ricochet is dangerous.

The masterkey was effectively experimental. Even the M26s around are pretty much never used in an underslung configuration afaik

Raider kits should get done nice features
I'd be down for shotguns being one of them

Currently the only good raider kits are imf and ins
The ones for wpmc are useless

The M4 shorty gets impact nades at least.

There's a rifle kit with them too i think

SL and Marksman apparently, but I don't think rifleman does.

Yeah, make them AT grenades and sure
Ambusher just needs to be renamed Raider and we can distribute AT nades :p

While i'm not very convinced of the breacher kit, i'm okay with having a shootgun in some kits.
I see it like : get a shotgun as a secondary weapond for a rifleman kit. (1 per 20 people in the team)
barren bolt
I think the main thing they should address is that any kit variety is quickly shadowed by the loss of the ammo bag.
