I believe the issue at hand is that, when BAB (I think) tried the Shotgun as a custom weapon, it looked utterly rediculous with Full Auto and Sniper Rifle.
So yes, Shotgun please. 
I am the Blaster, I have filled the role of Tank, Controller and Defender
Sometimes all at once.
Union EU player! Pip pip, tally ho, top hats and tea etc etc
As ridiculous as a council sub-machine gun suddenly spewing fire?
Or a tommy gun firing grenades?
No one pays attention to me, cause I listen to the voices in my head.
Or a sniper rifle sniping thin--...wait...
Shotgun! *Jumps in front seat of this suggestion*
At that point, it was impossible for BaBs to watch the Expendables, without time travel that is 
Needless to say, full auto shotguns exist, and they have a very similar effect: stuff falling over en masse.
I say add it. Again, it makes as much sense as any of the other skins, especially the sniper rifle or the piddly little uzi.

I don't see why not. After all, the Tommy Gun and Sniper Rifle are already horribly inappropriate for what Assault Rifle can do (begging the question of what BABs was thinking at the time), so a shotgun model? Eh, it's not any worse.|

Please, for the love of cookies, add shotguns to the Assault Rifle weapon customization. |
So... Thumbs up, I guess. We already have a shotgun model in the game. Why not use that?

I'm all for this.
I mean, there's a shotgun customization for the Arachnos Soldier Rifle, it still can use bayonet (the only one of the guns that does NOT have any forward pointing spikes) and the wolf spider assault rifle doesn't even HAVE a shotgun power like the NPC hunstman do, its all assault rifle stuff.

But hey, the line between natural and not is a little different for everyone... personally, I wish that category didn't exist. It's the blurriest one of all. Me, the only Naturals I've got are aliens... their powers are standard species abilities, similar to Kryptonians on Earth.
Yeah, sure. Let's go ahead and argue what's natural and derail another thread. I don't see why not.

I'm not surprised it happened. I expected it to happen. But for people trying to "get me off my high horse," I'm just interested in seeing how many innocent people you're willing to step on to do so. With Fitness going Inherent, there will be a lot of threads like these, so expect me to bait you a lot. Let's see how determined you are to counter me at every step.

Tell me Sam..are all your 28,649 posts that stupid? And not going to counter you at every step..if you want to spend time writing such drivel..good on you.

I didn't specifically mean "you" in person, Sensei. I don't remember who and what I was supposed to address, as I'm not good with names without avatars attached, but the last time it happened, that's exactly what I got told. In fact, why I don't I get a quote:|

Maybe someday you'll get that, and if you do get it, maybe someday you'll care *shrug*

The comment itself is harmless and meaningless, because I don't make a point out of it these days. I am not, however, going to stop including it just because people have a pet peeve of making an argument out of it. If that makes me the bad guy, then I am prepared to live with being the bad guy.
Believe me - I get it and I care. This is a conscious choice made in full recognition of the consequences. It's not what I'd like to choose, but it's what I feel needs to be chosen regardless.

Yup. All of them. Just for you, I went back and checked them all - I have them saved. They are all this stupid. Well, except for the, like, five or six where I string sentences along based on the first thing that pops into my head and they come off like the ramblings of a sugar-rush child. Those are REALLY stupid. But, hey, I got to 28 thousand something posts writing drivel, so why change what works, right?|

You fully realize and accept that the phrase you spout is meaningless, that it most certainly sparks emotional arguments, that it gets on peoples nerves and that's why you do it. There's a name for that, and it's oft used in the internet.
This is where I stop and opt to click the button. Have a good one, this is my last post on the matter.
As far as on-topic goes, a sawed-off shotgun would be good as well.
A average GI soldier using an M4 is 'Natural' Origin.
A part-cyborg super soldier wielding an M4 is 'Technology' Origin.
The gun will always be a piece of technology. It's down to the character using it.
Satisfied? Or do I have to fly down there and smack you all up alongside the head?
Using each others heads for smackage as preference?

Makes sense.
While many Bots MMs are Tech, this game's original Bots MM was a Mutant, wasn't he? http://wiki.cohtitan.com/wiki/Clockwork_King
