Haha. He knows UpgradeCap isn't Alex man. Lol.

When someone says "glad you like the idea, Alex..." it looks like they're talking to Alex, because that's how written English works. Re-reading it, if he wanted it to mean what I now think he intended, he should have used a period instead of a comma.

Yeah but not everyone has English as a first language.

I never said it was or wasn't his first language.

No but that could have been the cause. But lets not go OT here.

That makes sense dosnt it? Im sure you could stuff those slugs with explosives. Such as incendiary ammo IRL.

[Rowanas]

You could definitely do it. Such a gun would make a decent PD weapon, because it's firing a screen of particles, but it would still have the raw power to punch through armour at close range.

[Faiter119]

The drawback would be low ammo though, as the pellets/cartridges take alot of space I reckon.

[CrashToDesktop]

With real-world shotguns (I own one - no kidding No comparison to wha Austipio's been doing though), the shell IS big compared to rifle bullets, but only very fat.  They're usually much shorter than a rifle bullet.  Same space, I'd reckon.

[Temjin]

Kinetic would make the most sense though. A lot of small impacts is exactly what armor in Starfarer is best against.

Fragmentation would make sense too, but then it would be too similar to flak.

[Reshy]

Space shotgun, poorman's flak gun.

[Okim]

A cool weapon idea I came up with that may or may not be original.

A large, ballistic weapon That fires a random, narrow spray off 6 or 7 projectiles. Medium range but only effective at close range because of the inaccurate nature of the weapon.

So tell my what you think, its certainly something I would like to see!

You should visit the modding section. There are some shot/shrapnel gun there.

The buckshot cannon(weapons mod) on a hound, is insanely fun

To clarify, my first language is English (how dare you assume an alternative, other languages don't exists) however I am dyslexic and obviously UpgradeCap isn't Alex.

Also, what I said made sense too me.

“Glad you like the idea, (pause) Alex... (wait for Alex's attention) get on it!”

A period is what you were looking for, not a comma.
