I realize this has been suggested before countless times, dating all the way back to 2015. I'm writing this in hopes of getting shotguns to see some more use since they're so overused and you know I just love these things, the gamemode has also changed drastically since it has been suggested. If this is accepted I will also suggest adding this sort of attachment for the PLPD.
Description of the idea: Add a new barrel attachment that allows you to shoot off the hinges/door lock with the use of a attachment that focuses bullet spread and minimizes injury for the use of breaching wooden doors (possibly metal too? up to Devs for this balance wise). This would also slightly improve bullet spread for shotguns and make them tighter if so desired by the Devs, or just make it a tool, anything to give them a incentive to craft and use.
Why should this be added? (pros): Bring more use to shotguns since they're outshined and also mostly outclassed by any other category of firearms available.
New breaching method for Police as well as raiding method, think of it as a less lethal and faster way of raiding if you're a criminal instead of spamming explosives like a no brainer.
What negatives could this have? (cons): Police always resort to this method of raiding instead of using battering rams (Policies have to be put in place to prevent this).
*Other additions: Depending on how Devs want to code this, you should be able to just shoot the approximate location of a door hinge or door lock off and the door will open instantly (or fall off) if you're close to the door within 1 shot, if they want to be extra fancy they could make it so that the door just breaks completely and spawns wooden gibs like a wooden fence that exploded via a bomb. The breaching device is needed in order to shoot the door hinge/lock off.
Another way to implement this is to make it an action like bandaging, refilling magazines, etc. You focus the shotgun on the door for about 3 seconds and it will do the work for you, firing a shot and breaching the door.
Also, if we have no competent 3D model available you might as well just use a Flash Hider as they look pretty similar to the breaching device.
