@55 the Shotgun Pistol took me two point blank headshots to kill a newly spawned player. Did it successfully repeatedly though. 55 was the cap until lvl 32. Have upgraded it since, but not had the opportunity to try it in the same way, yet. ;-)

Shotguns, even the pistol, have their uses at medium to long range as well though. eg: If my Clockwork Nutcracker doesn't kill a flyer, a few easy hits with the SP does tend to finish them off! (With a lot less ammo wasted compared to a barrage of "Gatling Rattling"!)

That gives me an idea! A weapon for taking out said "flyers" would be a great counter to those Jet Pack (and maxed + double jump) players! Something with an "Air Burst" and/or Proximity trigger and "FLAK", area effect. Or something along the same lines. Preferably a Special, so that you can carry it in addition to your regular weaponry. But on certain maps and scenarios, it would be worth giving up another. Especially when working with a team. Continue from me on threw 10 dolla for Cubic, I spent the gems buying Dual Machine Gun (it was 50% off), Vandal and Laser Minigun. Right now I'm throwing my coins on upgrading Champion Mercenary since it is the cheapest Champion weapons to upgrade right now. Wow, Dual Hawk upgrade is mad cheap to upgrade as well!

I'm going to buy Shotgun Pistol next and test it out.

Hm..... I do like the Special weapon idea you have, but what would you name the weapon and design its appearance? Its stats and everything?

So let me rephrase that: When firing the weapon, the "Flak" projectile will have a sensor if the player is double jumping/using Jet Pack. It detonates if it is close to the "flyer". That's basically from Nazi Germany's Flak during WWII era.
