Here's a weapon that I think would be a unique addition to the Ballistic Weapons arsenal. A heavy duty, anti-vehicle, crowd suppressing, superweapon shotgun.
I have seen very few games that feature heavy shotguns and those that do are very fun to use.
For this I propose the SK-AS 410 "Sledgehammer" Mounted Vehicle Shotgun.
The weapon would be a very large weapon, on par with the minigun, that would slow the player's movement during use.
Primary Fire would shoot one of the 80mm shotgun slugs Flak Cannon style with high recoil and blowback. The shot's own blowback triggers the reloading mechanism and drop the vertical clip down a notch priming for the next fire. This would be useful for damaging large enemies or clearing an area of obstacles blocking the players path.
Secondary Fire would fire the slug without splitting the payload in a small strong projectile with high stopping power. A direct hit will result in a frag and possible amputation.
Tertiary Fire would set up the weapon on a bipod for more stable firing. Sorta like the minigun.
For reloading the player slides the clip down through an opening in the bottom of a gun, if the clip isn't already at the bottom, and inserts a fresh one at the top.
A good ammo amount, I think, would be 6 shots per clip, because ammo for superweapons is probably rare and 6 will allow the weapon to be used for a good amount of time.
Also, if weapons will ever be able to be mounted on vehicles in the future, I think this one would be a good candidate.
