id say a range buff would be good

It needs a range buff, its the worst primary as is. Didn't watch your video, learn how to embed, or better yet type your opinion.

I think it could use more starting ammo.  Otherwise I think it's fine.  I think it's a better shotgun than the Model (which is horrible without damage).  At least you know what you're getting with the AA12...

They won't increase the range. It will be too much like the Striker, which is not good for gun diversity. Make it the same range as it is now, but increase damage. That way, it is a very handicapped close range monster.

Anyone saying it is usable on hardcore, please, stop. Which gun isn't usable on hardcore?

If you used the gun on Core extensively, you know it sucks. Everything it does with Steady Aim, SMGs do without.

Yes it needs a damage and ammo buff.  A lot of people ask for a range buff but even with a range buff it still would take 2-7 shots depending on the range.  It would be fine very close inside of its 2 shot range but past that range (which is freaking tiny) it would still have a slower time to kill than every other primary in the game.  To have a weapon with literally the shortest range be hopelessly outgunned in over half that range by the other primaries in the game is not good.
