[2019] Shotguns are needed in this game?

This however, causes the gun to either auto fire on its own, or to instantly fire when you next try to aim it, effectively wasting a shot.

I've found double tapping melee is usually enough to override the reload without giving the phantom input that results in a melee. In the cases where I flunk it and tap too many times, a melee is pretty quick with little end lag, all things considered.

Quick question to all the shotgun users: What do you use as your other weapon and Specialization? What about your sidearm; another shotgun or pistol? What's the rest of your loadout look like?
