Slightly OFF TOP I'm sorry, but can anyone with 1000+ kills experience with both the AA 12 and the USAS tell me which one is the best please?

USAS-12 is definitely a lot more powerful and consistant. The AA-12 takes 2-3 shots even up close unless you're lucky enough to get a headshot kill, which ends up in you eating up its ammo quickly, hence the ammo buffing request in the first place. It only really hits effectively at near-point blank range because of it having the widest spread and shortest range of all the shotguns. It's one of the only weapons where you can constantly see it the bullets disappear in mid-air because their range is so short.

2-3 shots? More like 3-4 on average. Once you get further than about 5 metres it can take more than the entire magazine to kill. The gun is freaking awful. Also, shotguns have no headshot multiplier, or any multipliers at all, so it doesn't matter where you shoot them.

They should swap the striker clip with the AA-12, striker is fine with less bullets and the AA-12 could use more..or just give them the same clip size .

Take a look at the shotgun balance threat v3. We need reinforcement!
