While you are right about the physics of the guns and how shotguns should probably do a hell of alot more damage, from a gameplay perspective I feel I should point this out: The M1014 benefits from having some of the most ridiculously common ammunition in the game. 12 gauge shells can be found in virtually any building in the game; the milspec ammo cannot. That is a fairly dramatic advantage in my experience so far. But yes, I'd like to see the shotguns actually do more damage... alot more damage at that. But I am biased; I always carry M1014's if I can possibly help it, because let's face it, what's a zombie apocalypse without a shotgun?

Simple suggestion: Let people place the hunting knife in their pistol slot the way you can place an axe in your main weapon slot. Have it do half the damage of the axe. It'd be nice to have a silent-kill option for dealing with zombies without having to deal with tossing a 10-slot using firearm in your backpack.
