Shotguns in Free Fire are not really as popular as the other class due to their low range and fire rate. If you miss one or two shots, enemies would be able to easily pump your body full of bullets. Amongst the weapon in this class, the M1014 and the MAG-7 are the easiest to use due to their abilities to fire multiple shots without having to reload.
