It also means we know one of the wolves because the wolf hotshot is forced to shoot as well. anyone not taking part can be assumed to be the wolf hotshot.

We could get lucky and the wolf hotshot is forced to shoot another wolf . Shooting a wolf is no villager certainty since it is a forced shot. Wolves have a dilemma , if they eat the hotshots , they identify one of their number since he is the guy left when the hotshots are dead. The vig can avoid shooting the hotshots so more likely to hit a wolf.
This strategy is implementing a pseudo seer outing with 2 villagers and a wolf.It also prevents a wolf or wolf hotshot from echoing a villagers hotshot and stops a wolf hotshot from shooting in the endgame for a win.

I don't care who gets shot in the list as long as everyone is targetted by 1 person and we get the pseudo confirmed villagers/wolf hotshot by knowing who shot who.
This could make or break the game

If all three shots hit villagers it's 6-4, a mislynch + nom (or errant vig shot) and it's over before d2. If we hit at least one wolf we're in better shape though, but we need to hit at least two to improve our equity:

Random odds of lynching a wolf now = 4 in 13, 30.7%

3 hotshots fire, 1 wolf + 2 Vil die. it's now 7-3
Wolf in hotshots = 1 in 3, 33%
Wolves in remainder = 2 in 7, 28%

So if we only hit one wolf we're no better off than pre shooting and almost better off lynching from one of the three hotshots at this point.

Also this simply isn't as fun as soulreading.
