That would eliminate the purpose of a shotgun. They are meant to be extremely powerful at close range, but useless at long range. All guns have their upsides and downsides. If shotguns could shoot across the map, they would be DEATH MACHINES.

But I DO agree that it would be freakin' awesome! But everyone would use it... and KILL. A LOT.
