Absolutely, increase the rate of fire and reduce damage per shot for balance.I agree, that would be a cool change, because if I wanted to shoot single bullets, I would take a pump shotgun.
I would not mind if they switched the tiers: make the auto shotgun tier 2, but the pump shotgun tier 3. give the pump more damage, smaller spread and better durability at the expense of the magazine and i think everyone would be happy.Absolutely, increase the rate of fire and reduce damage per shot for balance.
