Warning shot with shotguns

This is a retarded question but i wanna ask for clarification. Can u warning shot with shotguns? I see cts on like Spy v Spy and other maps that warning shot with shotguns. i think it isnt allowed as it fires multiple shots and it wouldnt count as a singular shot. Also if they "warning shot" with it at close range it will mostly kill them

"Warning shots are shots that do 1-99 damage. Only 1 can be administered to the offending T unless he continues to disobey the same order. Warning shots are always required unless the T is rebelling or blatantly disobeying."

If they happen to kill them then they are required to slay if it was the first warning shot.

as it fires multiple shots

That's technically incorrect. It's a single shot, but it releases a plethora of buckshot that's loaded in the shell.

It's sort of a dick move to warning shot with a high power weapon, but if you don't kill them it's fine.

It's a single shot.

So if it counts as a single shot would it be a warning shot because it counts as one shot?

Yep, you can warning shot with it.
