But should you? Especially with buckshot it's just one massive spray of
pellets. It's not like you can examine the (now) corpse and say, "This
pellet came from the left barrel, but this one here came from the right.
And this, oh, that's a fly."

Maybe the damage is totaled (12d6, 10d6, 8d6, etc.) for shot, but split up
for slugs (6d6 & 6d6) as they are definitely two separate hits.

On the other hand maybe you should just say that anyone hit by two big-ass
chunks of metal going that fast is just dead. ;b
