LMAO. Will this the only “ethical” assault mobility weapon?

Yeah 2 shell reload or bust, they put it on the double barrel so clearly they are aware that the human hand is larger than a wee child and can hold more than 1 baby carrot. Its just not where its needed.
And blasting hordes is still the conventional tide application of shotguns, seriously they blast those + berserker armor in VT2…and that is 2 more roles than the shotguns in this game, with somehow less reloading when Kruber has a single shot Blunderbuss…

It is hilarious and sad that you are correct on both accounts. Maybe they should let us sprint while reloading? That would help a bit.

Are you saying some kind of John Darktide reloading is required?
Or even a braced (shotty not ready to shoot) twin/quad loading

The DT shotguns do a decent job of demonstrating why rl military shotguns are niche weapons.
But this is WH40K. I think the shotguns should have relatively poor ammo economy and reload speed, because of the bulky shells, but have something hellish in each shell.
I would suggest that shotguns never be a good at directly damaging armored foes, but all shred the basic walkers, and often inflict at lot of stagger, stun, or some other debuff - or at least bleed or burn - when they don’t kill.
imo shotguns need to have better shooting-time to reloading-time ratio
any other gun outside of sniper group - including semiautos like vigilant autogun and infantry lasgun - can spend like ~80% of time ready to lay down firepower
not shotguns though, you get to magdump once then you’re sluggishly reloading them one shell at a time. Unless they are boosted to the power level of the revolver where ever single shot is impactful, the reload time just kills them since whatever it is they can do that others cannot can only happen once or twice per horde - thanks to the arduous reload
if they just got faster - like much faster reload, coupled with much more ammo they’d be alright imo. not necessarily good, but that’s all they’d need to be alright

After yesterday, how are we feeling?
I still want better reloading, but @Reginald’s stream yesterday had good footage of the combat shotguns in the psykanium

I didn’t look at it all, but this moment was awesome:
