I'm not very expert on firearms, and I'm confused by the film's depiction of the hit-men's weapons. As another troper pointed out:
"Also because even with an electronic night-vision sight a pump-action shotgun will NOT behave like a Sniper Rifle..."
It doesn't seem clear to me whether the film-makers intended the assassins weapons to be shotguns firing buckshot, shotguns firing slugs, or rifles/carbines of some kind. In the scene where one of the gunmen punctures the greenhouse window, the film shows only one bullet-hole through the glass.
According to this wiki, it's all shotties, all the way.
The guns of Outland.

Maybe we need a Guns Do Not Work That Way entry?
