I read your list of issues, folks, and encountered the scattershot 2 giving 1 damage thing. I thought this was fixed? If it is, is there something wrong with me, or my weapon?

It's just a display bug really. Even though the chat window says it's 1 damage, Scattershot does actually do pretty good damage.

It hits the alternate pools-

Sta, str, con and so on.. you you will notice the target will not regen as fast.. but by the time it matter you have already killed yourself with your own specails.

Ok, something i found regarding this issue about the combat spam only giving 1 damage, but it doing full damage in main screen....

I used this shot solely on one mob. It had about 2k ham, so wasn't a one hit kill.
When i went to loot it/harvest it, it said i did not have permission to loot/harvest.
I was the only person to have damaged it, and no one was grouped with me, etc. Solo kill.

To cotninue the test, i tried an NPC with high enough ham levels that it wouldn't be a one shot or two shot kill.
Again, unable to loot this corpse.

So it would appear there is a problem with the combat spam 1 damage thing. As it seems to be acknowledging the full damage but not being dealt from you, the dealer of the damage.
So whilst you're being recorded as doing 1 damage per shot, A non entity is being recorded as doing 500 damage a shot.
Thus spoiling the looting rights even in solo fights.

Oh, to add: I was using Scattershot 1
not 2.

Well that just sucks, doesn't it fellow carbineers

scatter shot can be compaired with unarmed combo ,

scattershot 1 basicly hits 2 random stat pools (health action or mind)
scattershot 2 hits 3 random stat pools
this may also include that you hit health 3 times instead of spreading it over all 3 hambars

what most people dont know is that you can counter people with uber dodge(pistoleer/fencer combo) with it
basicly because the person evades 1 of the 2 or 3 hits (depending if its scatter 1 or 2), but the other remaining shots hit, so when u shoot with scattershot 2 on a person who dodges it, it basicly transforms into a full scattershot 1 hit

hope im not being to hard here

I love my scattershot 2 for smashing the mind pool. Nothing like teaming up with an Expert Bounty Hunter, Master Riflemen, and Master Swordsmen and smashing l33t doods mind pools.
