Bryce, if you'll willing to wait a few days, I'm about to release a resource that will contain a shotgun model, textures, sound effects, and .cs files to make it all work. I'm also doing a machine gun and a rocket launcher. I've already finished the shotgun, and tested it out.
How does it work? It spawns a small number of projectiles and fans them out. This makes the weapon very shotgun-like, as a glancing blow isn't necessarily fatal -- But if you take all of the projectiles in the face, it's an instant-kill.
There are other ways you could simulate a shotgun, but this method doesn't require Torque engine changes. :)

We are using the resource mentioned by Luke D and I can confirm it works great, but NOT in combination with the "Conform to Terrain" resource.
