I agree it is strong yet I would argue that it's likely meant to be.
Often Antags will be disadvantaged by numbers so it's important that they have such options as the Nukie's Shotgun Sub available.
Yes it is powerful and killed you, it is meant to be powerful and kill you.
For a counter In your case, SEC barrier can reflect attacks and kill the sub from a distance.
Also have you considered laying down on the ground to avoid being shot? It works for Pods, haven't tried it on Subs.
I would like to add that the Sub is disadvantaged compared to the Pods b/c they're simply slow-turning and therefore vulnerable to melee from behind or to the sides.
The Shotgun-Sub isn't often readily available to most antags.
So most of the time they are armed with less-lethal weaponry when an Antag decides to rampage inside one. (aside from z-level items)
I'd say this was simply a loss for you. It's not every round that an antag gets in a sub and starts gunning down crew.
If it happened more often I may agree with you. As it is now, I don't see it as a problem. Thoughts?
