This bitch not full, yeet!

copy from AR (probably not SMG... doesn't mesh very well with the shotgun aspect) balance to taste

Special: if this gun is reloaded with a non-empty mag, it fires off all remaining shots like a shotgun - i.e., instantly, in a spread. Each such shot fired deals only 50% of its usual damage. The gun also takes twice as long to reload if this shotgun effect is triggered.

It's... interesting. You can use it as a shotgun (by constantly reloading), or you can use it as an assault rifle. What you definitely shouldn't do, is reload half-empty mags, as then you get the downside of a very long reload, and for no real benefit.

Interesting for crowd controlling. However, the balancing of the gun would be completely dependent on the mag size of the gun and its dmg.
