That's the point. I was suggesting the least useful application of WP in a shotgun shell I could think of.

Okay yeah.

Well, I mean, tiny WP incendiaries from a shotgun could be pretty usable.

Especially from those Russian 20mm shotguns. :V

I guess there's no reason not to have phosphorous shells to fire from your shotgun, especially if it's got a tube magazine since when you're preparing to attack some target, you can load it up with slugs and top it off with a WP shell. Fire that off to start the assault and now you're ready to be lethal.

_{Or you could just have a UGL attached to a far, FAR more useful weapon, i.e. an assault rifle. Pull the trigger on the UGL then move your hand to the rifle trigger and presto! You're lethal (and moreso than if you were holding a shotgun).}

I don't think they'd work that well for a smoke-producing role considering a 12 gauge shotgun shell's diameter is a little under 20 millimeters, which is for the most part the absolute biggest a shotgun shell can practically get, and 40mm UGL* smoke rounds are the absolute smallest that smoke producing munitions tend to get.

It would probably be just fine for starting fires, if dangerous. Tactically, this ability isn't that useful compared to producing smoke, and that's a role already filled by UGLs.
