Ive been doing a replay of IV and all Ive been using is the 9mm and the short stubby shotgun. I guess Ive been doing it for the realism of those being 2 of the few guns that would actually be concealable. I only use the shotgun at really close range

Close combat situations. And i hope Rockstar use real gun sounds guns in GTA IV didn't even echo.

The shotty was useful (even more so in the III era) in that it would knock over your target leaving them prone on the ground. So it's useful for securing narrow interiors, cutting through an advancing group, or incapacitating a single powerful enemy (like one who also has a shotty, better to knock 'em down so he can't light you up)

I used them all the time in MP. Luring people into alleys and blind firing.

Mostly when I wanted to cause a lot of interior damage without wasting many bullets, mostly closed range action.

You can use your shotgun to destroy onkoming JEEPS and SUVS rampage_ani.gif (looks very unrealistic i.m.o.)

what's that motorcycle doing there?

 

And might it be that a steel cable is attached to the trucks fender by one of the 3 protagonists which makes the truck turn that way?
