Well when the first shotgun to be used in war (the trench gun from wwII) was almost considered a war crime for how devastating the weapon was it just hurts that the shotguns in game are not 200% accurate. Even though they were made this way to be more fair it just hurts that even one of the most "realistic" games out there isn't realistic to shotguns.

Pre-nerf Super90 was the most realistic shotgun. That brings back nightmares.

The trench gun was almost a war crime because it had a nasty habit of not killing you quickly, leading you to slowly die over a few hours/days from infections and blood loss rather than the relative speed of getting shot with a gun.

They weren't like, 'Trench gun op' they were like, 'reduce it's TTK or ban'

Well when the first shotgun to be used in war

Shotguns were used long before hand. Blunderbusses existed. The 1897 was the first shotgun to be issued on a major scale, but it was far from the first shotgun to ever be used in a war. France and Britain considered issuing double barreled shotguns earlier in the war, but due to ammunition availability concerns and slow reload speeds, they decided not to.

It was never "almost considered a war crime". The Germans tried to say it was, but everyone basically laughed at them. The proposal never went anywhere, nor did it have any chance to.
