    I'm not sure where to post this as I don't know if it would go under here or the "bugs" section.

    The shotguns are horrible on this server, i'm sorry but it's true. I shot a guy POINT BLANK with a spas-12 and it didn't kill him. -.- I've noticed this a ton over my time on the server and it really gets annoying. I have also noticed that shotguns have terrible range on them, I know that they're for CQC but the shotguns never have the 1 hit potential that they need...

    Anyone for a shotgun buff?, or is it just me?

    Yeah, they really do suck. You'd think that a point blank would kill in 1 hit, but it does less damage then when you're 1 block away. A buff would be nice, but if it's overdone no.

    Agreed. I think they should make it so you do more damage if you're closer, so when your point blank it's a 1-shot no matter what gun.

    I honestly can't stand when I shoot a guy with a spas-12 point blank and don't kill him, what gets even more annoying is when they kill you during that time. :/

    I would love to see a shotgun buff.
    Excluding the AA-12, right?

    the shotguns are very bad (imo) especially the spas24 is a terrible gun...

    the aa12 is not bad, it is just kinda low on the damage... it can be VERY good in a small room as you can hardly even see the enemy,

    as for all the other shotguns, pretty much every gun outmatch them. except for moddel ofc.

    yes... just yes. give me a shotgun buff :v

    Not only do they need more damage, they need more pellets when firing... The moddel only shoots 3-4 bullets. I feel if they added more pellets, these guns would be much better (even without the extra damage the extra pellets would help).

    The AA-12 should get a buff if they do one as well, I play a ton of call of duty and it does have its 1 hit potential on there, but not as much as other shotguns.

    Maybe lower the range and increase the damage?

    I think that'd work if they did one, at least for the AA-12, i'm basing most of the stuff I see off of call of duty but here's what it's like on there for the AA-12 alone, the AA-12 does have it's one hit potential but only close up to the enemy, a little farther from there it takes 2 hits to kill, then to 3, then to 4, after that you're either dead or someone else killed him for you.

    I would love a buff for all shotguns besides the model, the rest of them need a buff really badly.

    The Model shoots like 7ish bullets, and only 2/3 of those are actually needed to kill a player. Would be too powerful....

    The typhoid should have a instant kill with the burst of its 2 shots. Also the spas needs to be remade cause it is a waste of credits.

    Agreed
    I almost never use shotguns unless I'm playing for fun. They're extremely underpowered and you don't see many using them.

    Requesting to move to server ideas.

    I also agree that there should be a shotgun buff, like not a major one

    I think the M1014 needs to be buffed the most. I understand it's one of the first guns you get, but it's a two-three shot kill at point blank range. That's pretty pathetic for a shotgun. I also think that the Spas-24 should be buffed so that it fits its rank.

    To make it more newbie friendly, the M1014 could have a damage nerf and be a semi auto weapon just like it is in all other games.

    That's actually not a bad idea either.

    Thanks for being brave enough to voice your opinion. I agree with basically everything you've saying here, the shotguns need a buff. The only ones that should stay the same are the model and the typhoid. Both are great if you know how to use them.

    Hmm this is a tough one. I think some shotguns should get a buff but not all, infact i think the moddel should be nerfed considering its a low level gun which can kill someone in 1 shot. AA12 should stay the same and the rest i do think need a buff, especially the spas24, high level gun but so hard to get kills with. Typhoid I'm 50/50 about but there are some which do need a buff but not a huge one.
