Is this rumour true?

Apparently the Dev team are nerfing the shotgun? Is this true? I mean c'mon guys, it's a 12G shotgun, what it is right now is how it should stay, anyone agree?/Know anything about this?

There is a bug (already reported) that when you saw it off you only get one pellet from the buck shot not 10-12 of them. Its a bug not nerfed.

As there was the bug of firing only one pellet they temporarily fixed it by applying the whole damage on it basically changing "buckshot" to some kind of superpowered slug. If they fixed the issue they would reduce the damage per ball back to normal (slightly less than 9mm round damage) but you would fire multiple balls resulting in the shotguns advantage: a higher chance to hit over short and medium distances as well as still significant damage by firing multiple projectiles at once.

Hmm, perhaps it was an attempt to reintroduce the slug shells
