I use the secret handshake which has range far beyond most other shotguns as well as the delightfully nasty shot package perk. And I prefer to use them as a defence rather than my offence. Like if I'm nailing someone with a hand cannon and some tries to flank me I can whip it out, obliterate their entire upper body, yell "sit down", and then carry on with my usual business. But based on this next Nerf package catered to whiny thorn and found verdict victims I probably won't be able to rely on this strategy much longer.
