Why does everyone think their weapon should be a one shot kill weapon? Unless your shotgun is shooting slugs, its a very close range weapon. A shotguns power should drop dramatically after about 20 yards, but many of them currently kill in one shot at almost 30 yards. In my opinion, a shotgun that shoots buckshot should only be a one shot kill weapon at about 10-15 yards, and after 30 yards do very minimal damage. I am not saying they need to nerf shotguns, I am saying they already have more range than they probably should and to leave them alone. If you really want to see the power go up on shotguns, would you be ok with the range going down to 20 yards? Sniper rifles shouldnt have a one shot kill unless its a chest or headshot, a shot to the leg should kill.
I think to many people want their shotguns or lmg's buffed simply because people with assualt rifles and smg's are beating them to the punch. Outside of the Akimbo FMG's and P90, I didnt think there was a real issue with other weapons being to OP. Every weapon class has its better weapons, I believe the stats show that they are not all created equally. If you must have the most powerful weapon, figure out which class you like the best and pick the most powerful one. My PP90M1 feels ike a pellet gun at range, 50+ yards can take 6+ shots to make a kill. Yet at close range the power is little better an easier ot land those shots very quickly because of the rate of fire.
Every weapon class has a one up on another weapon class. I generally have a one up on LMG's and Assualt rifles at close range, but then shotguns have a one up on me at close range, I have a one up on them at mid range, but then assualt rifles have a one up on me at mid to long range. Depending on your situation, your always at either an advantage or disadvantage. Just because Im getting schooled at mid to long range by LMG's and Assault rifles doesnt mean they need to be nerfed, or that my SMG needs to be buffed, its how it should be.
