Ultimately besides the fun possibility of just outright replacing the spacker with twin-barrels of frontier justice, ill disagree with making it 2 handed for a few reasons.
1 - The riot shotgun is publicly available. There's always a minimum of three riot shotguns, four if you count the bartender, and five or more if you also count the fact that they can be rolled in secure safes as loot.
2 - the fact that it would be an utter joke of a weapon compared to the .357 revolver, or even the detectives .38 AP ammo boxes pound for pound, the revolver inflicts roughly the same amount of damage that buckshot does has a similar ammo count, and unlike the Spacker, I can pick up two of them, or have the freedom for another 6TC worth of items, rather than four. The revolver is also far far more reliable at killing targets, since it doesnt knock down, negating its miss chance entirely. A 2 handed spacker can also always be disarmed, while a revolver, I can just swap hands with.
3 - The tranquilizer rifle, hunting rifle and AK-744 are awful examples to use for a reason, those weapons are exceedingly more powerful than the spacker or revolver is, and are exclusively treasure items, or supply crate locked. Only rivaled by the derringer in raw point blank power, but with far less damage dropoff.
The tranq rifle *was* actually one handed until I brought up that you could load .304 winchester rounds in it aswell.
