    I usually use the typhoid over the very popular model in which everyone usually brags of it's strength. To be frank, typhoid and model are the same thing. The slight differences in it however is why I use typhoid.

    1. Typhoid packs more power in 1 (well, 3) shots) Practically 3 model bursts cut in 1/2:

    To do the math, Typhoid though having 12 shots will fire 3 consecutive rounds upon one pull of the trigger (click). From my experience playing with all the shotguns, I've noticed that the typhoid's (upon point black/somewhat close range) rapid fire packs just about 3 1/2 damage model shots. Then 12/3 = 4.

    2. Typhoid has no kb on fire

    Playing with model, I've always got pissed about the knockback it gives from firing it, leaving me vulnerable to attack for around a 3 second time frame. It's also a pain in the ass to reload (Though slight of hand does it fancy). Typhoid on the other hand doesn't really push me back, however you do have to get close with typhoid (since it's a shotgun, I'm looking at you AA12 users) for some good results, which is why I recommend speed and tomahawk to assist you while you use a molotov to check yourself from pursuing enemies and since they detonate almost on impact.

    ----------

    Don't judge, test the guns out for yourself. Like seriously stop asking for people to tell you if a gun is good or not or what gun to use. Think for yourself and experiment!

    --------

    This is all completely opinion and determined by my experience.

    This isn't going to change the majority's opinions. The fact that the Model one shots more often, at a greater range makes it more popular.

    I like how you put a lot of thought into your weapon choice! But I think most of us will stick with model. Every gun has its pros and cons.

    Are you trying to persuade others to share your opinion, or are you simply stating your opinion?

    Use skull, it's better then both these guns, combined.

    True. I often make the statement to some people of "If model is the strongest gun out there, why would it be a tier 4 and priced so low?". Though there isn't really any "strongest" gun out there and it honestly depends on the player's perspective, play style, and so forth, it's brain food really. I can understand the popularity of it however. I mean I've nuked with a usp before yet most players would struggle with it for the slow fire rate.

    Thank you. All guns on here do have their pros and cons. However I do recommend to all players (if they're willing to spend their money on a virtual game) to buy perks/lethals/tactical (I have them all). Really since they can broaden their reach of how to use their weaponry...smarter lets say. Or just broaden the strategy part to an offensive/defensive stance.

    For one, it says right there it's my opinion. No bias/persuasion attached. Back to you now, is the fact skully is better then the typhoid/model together persuasion or your opinion, that's unclear to me.

    *She =)

    First of all, what the hell is "get with da times bro :V"?. This is all our opinion, and I for one would like to express I don't like going by mainstream rules. I don't produce/listen to "brostep", I play with all the guns rather then working off iso carrying my ass on it's back, and "i dunt tlk liek dis" because I try to conduct myself maturely and properly. I use all the guns, and the shotguns on the mc-war spectrum aren't the best, I'll agree with that, but this is my opinion. I'm actually pondering whether or not your statement is just random nonsense or having full relevance to what's being said.

    Secondly, I bought you something. Not trying to be rude, like before.

    Whoa, whoa, no need for this. I was making a joke, because most people just use skullcrusher or iso for the same effect as a shotgun. I myself like to do the same thing you do and play with some diversity. It was just a little satire, that's all.

    And yes, sometimes I like to break the rules of grammar on purpose, because I don't like going by mainstream rules either.

    Oh, and welcome to the internet, I hope you enjoy your stay.

    Even when the Moddel was nerfed I still think that the Moddel is better then the Typhoid. But seriously who uses shotguns now. Besides the people who rush with a Spas-12 on Beaver

    One cool trick with the model is that you can use the knockback for high mobility. Just turn your back to the direction you want to go, and jump-fire. This is faster than sprinting, and can be used as an evasion move as well. Also good for escaping/chasing in CTF. Also, it has a higher ammo capacity and faster reload.

    I've OSK'd someone with exactly one bullet from a model in gungame once. Why in the world would I want to use Typhoid?

    I like typhoid/desert eagle (almost got super fast EMP with it) but without scavenger this gun is worthless. Also model has a SUPER fast reload time.

    Also I bet you like it cuz u a noob xDDDDDD jk

    I completely stopped using OP weapons before I quit. This is why I started taking a liking to the typhoid. I also nuke with it about 7 times (as I said, right before I quit).

    My opinion: Typhoid > Model1887

    All interesting opinions. I'm confused on why typhoid would take the place of model then. But I've noticed by experience that the model reloads very fast when paired with slight of hand and tomahawk as coverage.

    I vastly prefer even the SPAS-24 over Model. I really value clip size and reload speed.

    Yes this gun does have a good fire rate, but on the other hand the model has an amazing damage with it makes 1 hit from far away.
