that's not as much faster as I thought.  I don't suppose either of those times get reduced by reloader?  So if you have a few levels in Rel it could become inefficient to swap.

another reloader question - does it speed up the combat shotgun's (stationary) pump?

mcz117chief:
I have a question. If i play shotgun build, should i use the combat or double-barreled shotgun ? I find both of them pretty good and cant decide which one is better.

Kg:
Use combat shotgun for scouting or taking out enemies which are on the edge of your LOS (or in corridors). Use double shotgun when you're close and there are many enemies (or you just need extra firepower).

The more technical answer is that the combat shotgun has a tighter grouping (and thus less spread) than the double shotgun.  Given the current bugs with LOS, you might prefer a double shotgun when shooting from doorways to either side of an alley due to the better spread than the combat shotgun, but be aware of the reloading times and the fact that damage resistance from armour is applied on all three dice rolls.
