If you take a look at
this screenshot, you'll notice the shotgun unleashes 20 individual bullets that spread out with each buckshot.
I think most games with shotguns use between 10 - 12 bullets.
I think they should either cut the number of bullets that shoot out down to 10 or so.
-OR-
Keep it at 20 bullets, but make the buckshot spread out the bullets much faster than the current rate they spread out at so that they scatter almost instantly (making it more difficult to pull off the one shot kills we are seeing), so that you have to be like less than 3 feet away to get an instant kill.
I think we all agree that the instant kills people are getting with shotguns are a little too unfair...
