The idea of the "Ignore Cover" on shotguns is to represent Executioner rounds, which are semi-guided, weaving around the cover and finding their target. I was initially going to make them just be normal twin-linked shotguns. Anyway, in the fluff, lasguns are really quite powerful, but in the game they can't kill an injured wasp, let alone an enemy soldier. Therefore, I didn't think something as low tech as a human shotgun should have the same strength as a bolter.
As for the Arbite Grenade Launcher, its shorter range issupposed to represent thr fact that it's more compact. However, it fires two rounds, one normal and one stun round. The stun round is represented by Pinning, which the AGL has.
I will change the Mind-Shock power though.
