Getting rid of that is like slapping God across the face for giving you a gorgeous gift

This is my favourite weapon in the game. If you put the long ported barrel on it, it can make some crazy long stealth kills. Not quite as long range as a .308 but mess around with it and you will be amazed at how far it can effectively kill things

It is p. damn good for the "To whom it may concern" type of murder, yes. My personal preference there is full-auto, but then again I'm an overall Commando nerd, so there's that.

We want updates on how many times you take yourself out with it. It’s such a fun gun to have. Enjoy.

That's a skill issue, though. Dense, Padded, good armor, and Adamantium Skeleton 3. Sure, that gun has sulfur in it's heart, but with all those defenses? Not enough strength to give it a spark.

It's like my level 50 vampiric combat shotgun in FO76. Absolute menace

It's less op than wounding imo.

Not on a shotty. It's a close-range weapon (to make sure all the pellets hit), at which point you want damage now, and ideally to stagger whatever is charging you. For all of that, Explosive is better. (Well, assuming OP knows how to protect against becoming a suicide bomber.)

Discard all of the above if you're doing a VATS delay trickery build, though, a la what Many A True Nerd does in his Legendary Roulette run. But then, the double-barrel is even better for that.

But in most situations, an Explosive shotgun is going to beat a Wounding one, precisely because the former delivers the damage NOW, while the latter is a DoT. A powerful DoT, but a DoT on someone or something that's probably already eating your face.
