Yes pellets are better for PVP combat they do a total of 2000 blood per hit close up hope this helped :)

That's a fairly deadly weapon then.... but I wonder what's the pellet range? Anyone has an idea over this? I get the fact that it's pellets but what is exactly the effective range with that type of ammo?

Pellets are deadly and even at a fair distance they are an instagib. I would say around 25-30m is when the spread gets too large for 1hits.

Pellets in this game are viable out to about 50 metres. The problem is, the double-barrel has a REALLY long cadance. It's like two seconds before you can fire the second barrel, so you really want to one-hit them, which is within 20-30 metres, really. Killing zombies with it is fairly easy.

It's a shame that the farm shotgun doesn't drop any pellets ever any more...
