sub shot acts like a pellet shot, it scatters a lot of shots over a wide area, i say this is normal three because all the hits bounce to different parts of the monster's body - like a normal 3 shot does, though i could see how people would think its a pierce shot, it can act like one but you'll see in the video the erratic bouncing the ammo does - normal 3 is seldom used but on monsters with a lot of parts it does wonders
