With all due respect, submachine guns are visually much more spectacular then shotguns. Any action-movie director with an ounce of self-respect would put Uzi, H & K M5 or AK-47 in the Buffy's gentle hands. That way, Buffy could eliminate vampires at much faster rate then John Wayne could have ever done with the guys who wore black hats. As a DBA, you should know that it is the performance what counts the most.
