Assuming bird shot is loaded - though slugs do no additional damage so why not load bird shot? - negates negative to hit 'small' critters. This is why people use shotguns to hunt birds and not rifles.
Thoughts?
(Other super powers of weapons - rifle shoot long ways, pistol maybe conceal, etc).

As we are not worrying about what sort of ammo is loaded in pistols & rifles, I assumed the same was for shotguns.

Buckshot would have a comparable effect, at least at close range, IMO. |

Right - so making the assumption that it is 'shot' (putting the 'shot into shotgun') ...

Actually if the barrel is rifled, modern day shotgun slugs have quite a decent range from the short looking I’ve done.

Maybe at less than a -30, though. Maybe make it a -10 or -20?
Maybe I'm just entirely wrong here. It's my sense of it. Short range, no penalty to hit small targets. Longer range, you should still be at some penalty.

Thinking the range penalty should make up the penalty for long ranges.

I'm assuming we are not worrying about spread/splash damage for shotguns to keep it simple?

Yes. I was thinking just having shotgun be a possible anti 'it's super small' thing.
