Bypassing Shotgun Damage Cap

Summary

Using the 4x Damage Modifier on shotguns usually follows the rules of the shotgun damage cap E.G. Gold Pump Shotgun = 185, however shooting someone with the crosshair slightly above their head so that a few pellets hit, leads to the damage going over it. E.G. Gold Pump Shotgun = 206=236 damage
