yea i think you can manage to shotgun soldier without a rocket jumper
rocket jumper will just enable weirdos to go for MG and call it practice because they saw a youtube vid
edit: even if MG is banned people are big enough retards to take DM spots and just pogo jump and run away from fights to get hp packs and be stupid instead of just fighting and dying and respawning like a normal human who doesnt feel compelled to ruin the fun of others. shotgun soldier works fine with regular RL i do it all the time
