Certain enemies, especially the souped up health splicers, are more vulnerable to antipersonnel rounds than anything else. Nitro splicers, otoh, are most vulnerable to their own grenades and not so much to other things (oh the irony :( ). While I loved the shotgun, I had some problems at close range if I didn't aim carefully, namely either a headshot or a carefully centered torso shot. It seems unusually likely that you'll get a fragmentary hit as if it were at distance if they are extremely close. Far better to opt for a more precise weapon (I like ap round headshots from the pistol at very close range,just for the entertainment value of watching them buckle at the knees and fall). The shotgun is great for big daddies, however, as a panic round, as it seems to do just fine with the electric buckshot.
