For shotguns, pick a hit location (roll) and splash the damage around to 
adjacent areas based on range.  Divide the total damage amongst them as 
you see fit.

And yes, armor will be highly effective against buckshot.  Each 
individual pellet doesn't have much of a damage potential, and just 
about any armor will stop a shotgun blast from more than a few meters 
away.  You might get a point or so of impact damage through soft armors, 
but see the rules from "Listen Up You Primitive Screwheads" for dealing 
with that.

Solid slugs on the other hand are a whole lot of different :>
