Sawed off scattergun

[cuzitny]

If I make a sawed off scattergun, would it then become a small arms weapon

[Kamin_Majere]

By rules no, but if your GM allows it thats all that really matters.

Though i feel bad for your characters wrists

Also to make a shotgun pistol sized you are going to only have about 20-30 foot of total range before it becomes about as dangerous as a BB gun

The snub scattergun notes itself as being more concealable, level 8, but the others seem to be normal rifle size. I don't think I'd let you just tear chunks of a weapon off without making it broken or significantly dropping range. Which would be a major issue since it's total range is only 15'. If you want pistol AoE I'd look at the flame pistol. But of course really this would come down to the GM and if they wanted to house rule it.
