OK, so I know there are a bunch of numbers thrown around:
6 single/10 double
5 single/12 double...
And so on...
I never quite understood the 6/10 logic. Why would anyone use double shot if it fired fewer pellets than a single shot?
This picture should explain it well.
Left side is a double shot. As you can see, there are a HECK OF A LOT.
So... what does this mean?
When you fire it in Single, you get 6 pellets PER shell.
When you fire it in Double, you get 10 pellets PER shell.
In other words, firing it on double shot has 66% more damage than firing two single shots.
Not sure why we have this 5/12 thing and 6/10 going, but unless the game does damage pellets differently from wall decals, the Wiki is wrong and should be listed as 6 primary/20 alt fire.
Discuss?
