Default not practical

I dont think they have seen it as a practical weapon .Converting one is very dangerous at best .Such a gun needs stronger metal in it than the flareguns have.

But DeCorba and General Pain are always looking to get bigger caliber in a smaller package - such guns are mainly used when PCs are scrapping in my experience.

Building a huge caliber handgun sized smoothbore for buckshot has been done plenty in history - blackpowder muzzleloaders etc .So I guess the PCs in my campaign can have one if they can make it -first they will have to survive the next FtF though .

What about that sawed of M79 with a break-contact buckshot round ? Could it be had as a bulk 2 weapon and carried in a holster on your person ?
Could it fire a slug or similar projectile ?
