Swords already deal a lot of damage and you want it to deal more to balance fighting people shooting you with a shotgun? Doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
You can definitely block sgs with sword if you're up close lol. Besides that they wont be able to even shoot you if they have their sgs drawn and you're all up in their face.
Even daggers are brilliant up close against sgs, watch Zefard fk people up using one
