Just made an imperial agent since it's the mirrored class to the smuggler and built a Combat Shotgun through Armstech. Was ready to go PvP and give some jedi and nice shotgun blast to the face... but then I couldn't equip it. I made an operative because I figured they were more close quarters and would get Scattergun Proficiency, but I was wrong. Can someone tell me, do Imperial characters even get to use scatterguns?
