Meet the AA-12, perhaps the most unnecessary weapons ever conceived. Capable of firing 300 nearly-recoilless rounds per minute, and also being A SHOTGUN, it has the added bonus of being banned from combat by the Geneva Convention - which makes it all the more fun to use.
That particular pleasure aside, the main purpose of the AA-12 is for sweet games of tag. Usually, games of tag are limited by the slow firing rate. The AA-12 opens a whole new world of tag-tagback chains, as well as multiple chances for successfully tagging a new "it" despite having missed.
Of course, the anti-recoil feature of the AA-12 renders it useless for use in inertial dampeners, another common application of shotguns (and arguably the one most relevant to space travel). More on that particular technology is forthcoming.

Well it's a good thing we weren't abiding by Geneva anyway. It must be weird having a job of which the sole purpose is designing a weapon to maximize destruction and death tolls.
