The problem with removing shotguns is that is the classic gun that new players choose, and if you get an environment where all TTT is, is people using the S&W and Winchester only the skilled can ever actually succeed, thus the player-base dies because the skill-gap becomes too high. Seen it happen before and it would happen again. All I can advise is find a way to keep distance from players or just find a corner to dick around in. That's usually what I do.

Major agreement here, this game isn't exactly competitive. It's a fun casual game for people of all skill groups. Sometimes you'll just die. It happens. But I guarantee you all kill shotgun users more than they kill you. Just have fun my dudes.
