Editing Hunting shotgun (section)

=== Damage ===
Hunting shotgun shoots 10 pellets per shell shot with 50 damage per pellet with 1.5x headshot multiplier. Primary fire, shoots each barrel with 0.25 second delay in between. Alt-fire shoots about both barrels and spikes up damage while forcing you to reload right after. Hunting has to reload, and only can reload once both barrels are empty; reloading both barrels always take 2.75 seconds which can only be reduced by [[Commando]] perk. Hunting shotgun has a unique pierce efficiency of 0.65, losing 35% of damage upon piercing up to two targets at its base, in which efficiency is not shared by cartridge load or magazine load shotguns. Support Specialist gets damage and increased pierce efficiency per perk level. At the hands of a level 6 Support Specialist, Hunting shotgun deals 800 damage per shell shot, pierces up to 5 targets and only loses 3% damage per target pierced. Like many other shotguns however, shots lose the pierce ability when shot from too up close to a target.
