Shotguns

[wite flite]

Shotguns, in SOCOM 2 they were **** sticks. In S3 some of you will have noticed that they freaking rule. My advice is to stick with the 12g pump and load it with slug ammo and rifle scope. Keep your fire rate on slug when running around, because if you see somebody farther away then a shotgun can hit, slug him. Keep in mind that you have to reload after every slug, and you only get 3, but they are very powerfull and have good range. For normal shotgun use, I will stay firm on that ambush is still the best way to get kills. Wait behind a corner, pop out and boom. Easy kill especially becuase shotguns in S3 have drastically improved power. You will notice you can knock people over from over 15-20 yards away at most and easyily move in for the kill. Anything within 10 yards, is an instant kill. Try it, shotguns are more pwerfull in this game then you would expect.

What does slug mean?

Slug ammo is an atachment for shutguns. You can switch rate of fire to slugs. WHile they are limited and required reloading after every shot, they are more powerfull and have uber range.

wow im glad you cleared that up for me on the slug ammo. i tried it once and shot it on accident and thought it only gave me one so i didnt use it again. but i think i will go find a respawn later and try it out again.

The shotgun owns on the level citadel. Its almost all close cquaters battle and you can rack up the kills. Lke you said if a guy is far away just hit them with a slug

lol cylon. You must remember that night I owned with it. The shotgun is also useful in antenora. Most of the level is tunnels anyway.

A slug round, is one solid shot, incased in the shell. The other rounds are 00(buckshot), in the shell. As others stated, the slug will reach futher to hit. You would shoot it like a rifle. The 00 spread out, over a long distance. The 00 shot, is like a .38 cal bullet. I think there are about 4-5 in each shell. I could be off on the count. A slug is all those, in one.
