Am I correct in that the damage of a multiple projectile load inside the minimum spreading range is converted to Crushing? I seem to remember that but am away from my books. If so then it would still be divided by 5 for Blunt Force Trauma. However if it is then my example above should have resulted in 25 points of BFT (OUCH!)to Bulletstopper Joe. If it isn't converted to crushing damage then it would be divided by 10 and Bulletstopper Joe would receive 12.5 points of BFT. In either case my previous post was in error. As for shotguns the Gurps Lite 4th ed. shows the example shotgun to have a 1/2 damage range of 50 yards. So anything inside of 10 yards would need to worry about the non-spreading damage.
