So, a question here:

What, if everyone turns towards the shotgun - whatever type from sawed-off over double-barrel to pump-action or even combat shotgun ... Wouldn't it be kind of easy to "create" your own ammo easily? I bet there are plenty of handbooks available in any hunters' equipment store (if not any other gun-shop as well). And creating the blowing agent to propell the flechettes/ shells/ shot-charges should not be too much of an issue ... Ok. Shotguns means short-range combat ... And Shotguns also means: Behemoths and Little Ones (and maybe some more special zombs) are not killed easily; but for the average biter shotguns should do the job ...

So, you gun experts: What is your opinion about this idea?

Best wishes!
