Well in fairness they probably don't use lead... probably some sort of blessed uranium ninja essence of doom..

I believe shotguns should have the following profile:

Shotgun; 18" Range, SX APX AssaultX
18" Away: S3 AP- Assault 2
12" Away: S3(4) AP6 Assault 2
6" Away: S4 AP5 Assault 2
3" Away or Less: S5 AP5 Assault 1

This would apply to guardsmen also, but with a modified points cost.

Responses welcome.

...no?

Flamer template would fit better than a small blast template.

I don't like either idea though.

Well, shotguns are definently a hotly debated topic.

I think the older rules (2nd Ed and Necromunda) do the best justice to shotguns, but if you start getting into short/long range for shotguns, you'd have to do it for everything. That said, I am all for Imperial Guard being able to buy Man Stopper shells for a nominal fee, and get at least S4. I honestly don't like shotguns having a different profile in different armies. It's dumb, since for example a bolt weapon is a bolt weapon is a bolt weapon, despite all the fluff about how much larger a space marine's bolter or bolt pistol is than an unaugmented human's.
