Shotguns

raytard · 10-20-2005

i find it funny how pumps generally have a choke on them, and a choke means you cant use a slug. the TA can use a slug, since it ahs a bore choke(as in the choke is the diameter of the bore). just a little tidbit for you. (check www.howstuffworks.com to see what i mean about a choke)

anyway, the 12 guage rocks now, i went 16-3 in a respawn with it after 3 minutes. it actually ahs half way decent range, and enough chells to take down more than one guy at once.

My all time favorite manuver is to shoot someone with a shotty, knock 'em down, and pump a slug in their face. Too freaking awsome.

Eh, no it can't. Online at least.

A slug is a big bullet compared to the usual buckshot that breaks up and fires little pellets everywhere (didn't read past the top half of the 1st page, so I'm saying just in case someone didn't already).

shoty in S2 = weak.....shotty in S3 = still weak.

I've knocked down people almost point blank 3 - 4 times (on the best/back) and still can't kill them.

One more thing, I wish they would make them faster and give them some more range (Zipper wanted to make the game as real as possible, so in real life, you can shoot a pump almost as fast as a semi...) ..... they've made shotguns so horrible.

I agree, the TA and the M4-90 should have a bit faster fire-rate. But you're wrong about the strength. The rifle laser makes the shotguns much more accurate, in addition, in S3 your crosshairs seem alot more sensetive to your speed. I got about 32 headshots in a row the first time I tried out the shotguns.

what you mean stregnth? at close range, 1 shot in the chest = should equals a kill.

Yea i just started using the shotty today and omg i got so many kills but tell me one thing....... 54 kills 87 headshots?

The simplest explanation for the number of headshots being greater than the number of kills is that you hit them more than once in the head. Which I firmly believe, considering that you would hit a person with a LOT of buckshot from point blank....

I get that a lot too, when I'm semi-sniping with the M16
