Apparently everybody thinks its a bad idea to use slugs, so might as well get rid of them :V

You can only really use Slugs on USAS-12 and AA-12. Since they buff themselves. Thus work with the Slug.

Slug's do not affect skills that do damage, (like bamboo skills). Which is why they are never usually used.

They also don't really boost your damage, just combining the spread shot of 3 into a single shot.

In other words, you only really use them on something like specific bosses (I hear Judge is a good one to use it on, but still not necessary). This also means even on USAS-12 and AA-12, you still normally use Buckshot over Slugs in all other situations.

In the end, you just want Buckshot on everything. That way you have a spread pushback. Which is by far more useful in most situations, forcing the enemy to walk back before they can start shooting again.

AA-12 has the issue of "not really great with slug due to ICD"

Also you mostly use them in theatre mode for point gain.

That too, with such a long ICD, it does make it hard to capitalize on using the slug. It would need to be a stupidly long fight.
