No they are not. You have to be right on top of a guy to use it and they are very loud. If you sneak up behind a guy and blow him away then the whole stealth aspect of the mission is gone.
it doesnt have any range and it will mainly just knock him down instead of killing him. if you want a close range weapon your better off with the mp5 or give jester the shotgun.
the shotguns suck *** unless your like 1 foot away from someone in which case you'll probably get blown to pieces since all the enemey does is spray n pray tactic
yeah man ifi you get good with a shotgun it is deadly in some maps, citadel,fault, and antenora.......but any other maps than that it blows.....so dont even think about using it unless your in any of thosemaps
they are good when ther a noob in a buggy you can use buck shot to shout them out happen to me but you need relly good to do that
i didnt understand one word u just said... but anyways
i use the shotgun sometimes, like close maps, (citadel)
it is very useful, i think... and i am moderate with it, i guess you just have to get use to it and then you will be good with it
