Shotguns are close quarters weapons, SMGs are meant for short to medium range. Shotguns are not meant to be equal to SMG's. Shotguns should be outclassed by almost every other weapon in the game, that is how they work.
People only want the aa-12 to have more ammo to make it more like the mw2 verison which was the noobiest shotgun ever made in the series. People only want more ammo for the AA-12 so they do not have to change their perks or how they want to use it. Instead they want the developers to buff it so it acts nearly the same as the mw2 versiond did. Because it is a skillless point and spray gun. It is nearly as bad as the FMG9's. With more ammo it would be the FMG9's on steroids.
The AA-12 can kill in one shot every time at the right range unless they have a vest on then it takes two. Just people want to be able to spray it longer to get kills beyond that range insteading of changing their style of play when using the weapon. They want the developers to change the weapon to make it easier for them so they do not have to adapt to it instead, and that is just wrong on so many levels.
People just want a nooby spray-pray easy to use shotgun like the mw2 aa-12 was. It was worse than the striker or the models in that game.
People just do not want to change perks, they do not want to give up recon or blind eye, to hide from air support. So cry and whine that it needs more ammo, so they do not need to use the perk that was made to give more ammo and let spray-pray weapons be refilled easier. They want the gun buffed to suit them instead of having to learn to use the gun better and not just spraying the entire clip out every time they come across someone.
That is why it has less ammo, to make a person not over spray, to make you stop and think and adapt and learn how to use it properly. But I guess none of you want to do that or can not understand that.
Just beause it is full auto does not mean you are meant to spray it and empty the clip every damn time you come across someone. Which is probably what most do with it. So run out of ammo quickly because of this.
It has less ammo then smgs' because smgs are smaller weapons and have smaller rounds that would realisticly weigh less then shotgun shells and take up less room to carry more than shotgun shells would.
this game though most try ot call it just a arcade shooter does try to emulate some realism within the game to a limited degree.
Other wise they might as well make every gun in the game carry 1000000 rounds so you never round out during the match... because the true arcade shooter hardly ever runs out of ammo. Unless it was special ammo.
