Comparing stats from a pre-buffed gun to a buffed gun is kinda squiffy at best also if you read instead of just reacting to segments that was with the the buffed spas-12 which I screwed with on seatown and I think you'll find I said 6-7 kills (which to my 1 death while using it is a kd of 6 to 7)all 1 shot apart from a dude who 1 time took 3 and the other when the same dude was on top of the skip took 2 but there's always a guy who seems to sponge bullets in each match whereas pre-buff the spas was a bugger sometimes **** others you couldn't bye a kill now post buff it seems to be a pretty much a guaranteed kill which up close as again I said before it should be but the range is insane.

Any gun that you don't have to be fully locked in on them and still hit one shot kill is not a skilled weapon. However if you think they are then thats all that matters as opinions are just thoese you thought I was a lying troll and that turned out to be false also

I wasn't insuating anything I came out and said it the point of ease of use for myself is in how difficult is it to get a kill with a certain weapon and for myself shotties are easy to get a kill with as for not being a good player my kd may suck it's around 1.26 but I only play kill confirmed and pretty much every round I nail the accolades for most kills confirmed and denies and 9 times out of 10 finish top 3 not bragging just pointing out that a massive kd does not point to someone who plays a gametype well as in sometimes you have to eat a death to nab a load of tags the only gamemode kd means anythig is T.D.

As for maintaing a good KD with shotguns there is the rub I ran with them pre-buff and in the first couple of days of the game coming out (apart from the odd one I pick up when some dude is going on about the skills involved and how I should leave) and I only used them on ceratain maps Seatown (which even now i'm not entirely comfortable on) and Mission. (apart from the striker which I rushed through)

The half dozen times i've picked up a shottie in the past couple of days I have nailed between 3-6 kills before dying as now I know the maps so can now use the shotguns a lot better. The kd issue was one of lack of map knowledge(as in knowing how to get to areas where the shotgun is at home) not within the weapon(as inafter the first couple of minutes of stupid deaths you get afeel for its range,damage and fire speed as in the model) itself plus even back then I loved my little stinger which after a reaper normally leds to death with your gun in your hand.

I said before different people find different guns hard to use for me thats the type95 and I hate the mp5. Personally I find shotguns easy to pick up and use as in get a couple of kills just like I found the RSASS very easy to use. Again it's all subjective and in this case I belive the ultimate man Ron Burgundy says it best "Agree to disagree"

What's more annoying is in a lobby of 12 players there are going to be

7 people using AR's and akimbo machine pistols

2 people with MP7 and akimbo machine pistols

1 guy with a striker

1 guy trying to QS

and me... with a gold 1887.

And I'm the one picking up "easy, cheap" kills eh?

ANYONE can crouch around the map hugging the walls, hiding behind head glitches with an AR and post "decent" numbers.

Personally I believe it's harder to use a weapon that:

a. isn't full auto.

b. has limited range (even with the prof, it's still limited)

c. may or may not kill in 1,2,3,or even 4 shots. (had it happen a lot)

d. requires more thought in how you move effectively move through the map, cap obj's,....not camp.. that whole thing.

That's ok though..

Keep telling yourself it's not "easy mode" to run with the usual suspect of weapons.

Oh yeah, and to the guy above me here...

If you weren't crouch walking, shooting at peoples' groins maybe it wouldn't be so easy for people with shotties to jump over your shots and kill you.

Just sayin'

That is far from a valid representation of a gun, picking it up randomly one time. It's the consitently using it that will show you how easy or hard a weapon is to use. Fact is, el2kay has it right, and getting a good game with the model requires a lot more skill on all levels than pretty much every gun in the game. You don't use it more than the odd time tho, so how would you know. Getting lucky with a shot gun and having some easy kills just come your way is not super hard to believe... Consitently doing well with it tho, that's another story. If you want to practice with them tho, I'd reccomend dome or underground.

Next time, try to stay at a farther distance.
