Yes.
There is. That's why you had to crouch or jump before shooting Scrake's head. In other cases it wasn't noticeable as much as in KF2, because zeds were slower and usually died before getting at your face.
Double Barrel Nerf?

Hasn't every time I've tried to use it. Whether it's HP or the physics attached to it, double barrel simply doesn't have the punch.
Then again, maybe the stun/stumble is relative to total damage, in which case only higher level support would see it.

No, the gun balance now is ****ed up. The more stumbling gun right now is medic T4 assault rifle ans Zerker T2 nailgun
Let's be realistic, KF1's DBS is pretty dumb too. Ammo are more expensive than sell the gun and buying the gun anew.
The only weapon are balanced right now is medic's line, Every other perk's kit got it's problem.
Commando's SCAR are a downgrade to AK12 if you are not lv15. Zerker's T4 is a joke. Support's T1-T3 shotgun are all bad except AA12.

The double shot should stumble even the largest zeds, I mean come on it is two 12g buckshots flying in your face.
I totally agree with this. Inconsistencys like that would make combos purely luck based.
I believe it's actually less spread than KF1. The first one had way too much spread. Also if you look at the barrel length of the gun it justifies the spread. Even still, it's less than the first game's spread.

It does seem a bit weak, but compared to other weapons in the game(except the AA12 obviously) it's a beast
You didnt play with shotguns enough in KF1 then. Shotguns also lose the penetration if you stand too close. So in KF1 you need to me 2-3 meters away from your target to get the full damage in. But at that range some pellets can deal damage to both hitboxes of the zed, so you do more than normal damage.
As in KF2 with you are fighting gorefasts/crawlers it gets most noticeable. If they use the jump attack to get in your face, you cant hit them. I may miss the head, but no way in hell I am missing the body which take over 70% of the screen. And if the crawler is right at your feet, you need to take a step back or crouch to hit it.
Yeah I feel the strict tier system promotes a dull, systematic playstyle. But like you said we'll see how it goes when the next batch of stuff is realeased!
It's most notable with Sirens as you instinctively get up nice and close to make sure every pellet lands in her frail little body (head), then frantically back pedal and fire multiple shots trying to bring her down as she "does your bloody head in".
