Solid Shell and Solid Slug are both primarily single-target attacks designed to circumvent the Shotgun's inherent penalty against armor to some extent. There is a chance of catching more than one target with Solid Shell, but it's not designed to be used that way. The main benefit to both of the solid shots is that instead of up to five separate d5 rolls on damage (remember, armor is applied against each damage die), you get a d15 (with up to 3 additional d5's in Solid Shell's case).

This is quite different from how I envisioned it originally (which was basically a shotgun cone starting from the target instead of the shotgun), but it's a hell of a lot easier to do the math for and it actually makes more sense this way.
The grunt attacks you (16) and hits for (5+3) 8 damage.

You shoot the grunt for 3 damage.

GET CHAINSAW

[Steve]

just in case they have any non chainsaw equipment

LOOT CORPSES FOR ANYTHING ELSE

[raekuul]

You obtain two chainsaws.

EXAMINE CHAINSAW
CHECK SKILLS WITH CHAINSAW
PROCEED TO LEVER WHICH THESE GRUNTS WERE GUARDING

"A chainsaw! Let's find some meat!"

I see it that we have already killed everything around.

[raekuul]

You shouldn't know this yet, but there's a scientist at the manual water controls right now. I haven't decided if I want to be forgiving and make him a helltouched, or if I want to make you do everything yourself by making him a former.

Chainsaw: The Combat Chainsaw, as you and your buddies called it once upon a time, is a gas-powered device primarily used for cutting apart wood. There are no trees on Phobos, so why these are here is anyone's guess. You're fast enough and strong enough to use it as an actual weapon.

You don't know any special ways to attack with a chainsaw.

You return to where you first encountered the Grunts. There is a sign on the wall reading "Water Flow Manual Controls" on the wall. There is a closed door made of actual wood here.

>>Chainsaw the wooden door!

[raekuul]

You chainsaw the wooden door. There is now a pile of burnable rubble in your way.

"Ugh, I told them not to do that." You hear someone grumbling from inside.

[thelaptop]

WALK IN BOLDLY WITH CHAINSAW AND SAY "What?"

[raekuul]

The person, a Helltouched Scientist, looks up from his work. "I told you all not to just chainsaw open the door. I swear, if my boss hadn't told me to play nice with you and your buddies while I was here sab- inspecting the Brothers' troops, I'd have knocked out your power grid a long time ago."

He doesn't seem to realize that you're neither a helltouched or a former.
