What's up guys, Rogue-9 here and yes, I
know that this one has been a long time coming.

You guys have been asking me to do a comprehensive
shotgun review for months and months now and

It's such a challenging topic to tackle
because by their very nature, the shotguns

are pretty random in their effectiveness
and very problematic to test but I have given

it my best shot and I am happy to
finally be sharing these findings with you!

As always, if I drift off into rambling about
minute details; feel free to consult the pinned

comment below for timestamps to
the individual chapters of this video!

All the nitty-gritty data I have gathered
on the shotguns will also be shared in my

only stat-spreadsheet, so do feel free to
swing by there if you want a deeper insight.

And now, let's get this show on the road!

There are essentially four types of shotguns
in Rainbow Six Siege: Pump-action, semi-auto,

the BOSG slug gun and Buck's
Modular Accessory Shotgun System

(which I will refer to as MASS from now on).

I have already covered the BOSG in a previous
video and since it essentially functions more

like a two shot DMR, I will be excluding it
from this evaluation; Buck's MASS will be

My effectiveness analysis and ranking of the
weapons will be based on the following criteria:

Damage per pellet & damage drop-off, hip-fire & ADS spread, the fire rate, ADS times, reload times and recoil.

So let's kick things off with the
damage per pellet and damage drop-off.

As you may already know, there are a
few rules that apply to all shotguns in the game.

Each of them fires 8 pellets of buck shot
at a time and one of those pellets will always

land perfectly in the middle of your point
of aim with the remaining 7 dispersed around this.

Another general rule to keep in mind is that
shotguns do not get a headshot damage multiplier.

Headshot damage per pellet is exactly
the same as for body shots, so my first piece

of advice would be to always aim for the
body, since you will have the greatest chance of

landing as many pellets as possible
and thereby doing the most damage.

Another important factor is that all
weapons in Rainbow Six Siege have a limited range.

Beyond that range, bullets will simply evaporate.

For most of the guns: pistols, rifles, DMRs,
LMGs and SMGs this range is so great that

you will never really be able to notice the
bullets disappearing but for shotguns the

As you can see in the test footage in the
background, the shotgun pellets will disappear

at ranges beyond 40m and sure that is still
a very long way by Rainbow Six Siege standards

but if you ever have the crazy idea of going
for a spawn peek with a shotgun, you might

just end up in a situation where your bullets
won't reach your target, so be aware!

When comparing the damage done by the individual

shotguns, we can see that, up until around
12m, the pump-action guns do more damage per

Between 12-18m the two types are pretty
similar but beyond that, the pump actions regain a

Diving into the two groups, the general rule
we can see applied to most guns is that the

more powerful they are at close range, the
weaker they tend to be at longer ranges.

Great examples of this are the GEO ITA12S sidearm, the GSG 9's M870, the MASS and the Russian SASG-12.

Conversely, guns like the ITA12L and Caveira's
SPAS-15 are relatively weak up close but offer

And I say “relatively” weak because even
the SPAS-15, with its 30 damage per pellet,

can still deal a combined 240 points of
damage with every single shot; more than enough to

make any opponent regret taking you on at close range.

This rule of short vs. long range
capability doesn't apply to every gun though.

Frost's Super 90 for instance, is quite
weak at short range and even weaker at longer range.

Similarly, the SAS' M590A1 is one of the
weakest pump-actions up close as well as at distance.

In terms of ranking the guns based on this
first criterion alone, I would say that the

more powerful guns up close have an advantage
over those with a little more power at range,

since the spread of the pellets will make shooting
at ranges beyond 10m pretty ineffective anyway.

Hey, and that's the first aspect down already!

But of course if we really want to judge the
damage output of these weapons the next factor

My assumption going into these tests was that
each type of shotgun would have a fixed fire rate.

I.e. one fire rate for semi-autos and one
for pump-actions.

But of course, this is Rainbow Six we're talking about

and any kind of standardisation would just be too simple.

As it turned out, there are a
surprising range of calculated fire rates.

Amongst the pump-actions, I
discovered three different fire rates.

The Japanese operators' SuperNova is the
slowest firing shotgun of all, with a measly

fire rate of around 75 RPM, although it's
only marginally slower than most of the other

pump-actions, which manage around 85 RPM.

At the top of this group is the GSG9's 
M870, with a fire rate of around 100 RPM.

So not only is the M870 pretty much the most
powerful shotgun up to 5m distance in terms

of damage per pellet, but it also shoots the fastest….

Here's a quick comparison of what the three
types of pump actions look and sound like

The semi-autos of course shoot significantly

faster and the slowest ones here clock in
at around 200 RPM.

Significantly above this group is Valkyries
SPAS-15 at 290 RPM, the SASG-12 at around

330 RMP and Ela's FO-12 at a massive 400 RPM.

And with this info, we can now calculate a
maximum theoretical damage per second for

The low damage per pellet of the SPAS-15 means

that even with its elevated fire rate, its
damage per second output is not that huge.

The FO-12 and the SASG-12 on the other
hand end up with an overall damage output that

And, as long as you are within 3m of your
target, Buck's MASS is also pretty powerful.

Keep in mind though, that the damage per
second output is a theoretical value that assumes

that you can fire the gun as fast as possible
and still hit every pellet of every shot.

For shotguns specifically, this measure is
even more problematic than for regular guns

because no matter how good your aim, you
will never be able to hit all of your pellets once

you reach a certain distance from your target.

But we'll get to spread in a second, before
that, I think it's worth noticing that even

the most powerful pump action shotgun (the
M870) still delivers less damage per second

than the weakest semi-auto shotguns (the M1014
and the Super 90).

Does that mean that the semi-autos
are better than the pump-actions?

With the pump-actions you really need to make
sure that you hit your first shot and that

you're close enough to get an instant down
or kill if you want to survive the engagement.

With the semi-autos, the ability to spam fire
in panic situations or after missing the first

shot, can allow you to survive
where the pump-actions might not.

While this DPS data allows us to
compare the shotguns on a theoretical level, the info

becomes very misleading once you're only
a few meters away from your target since in
