How to Improve Shotguns

In all of MC-War, shotguns are the thing that need the most improvement. Currently, all of them pretty much suck except for the model1887. Why is that? The only reason the model is so good because it is so powerful. But is also has a horrible scatter, low clip, and huge recoil. Why not use the spas24? It's better in all the things the model sucks in. But the model is still pretty much superior. Again, why is that? This is because the model has a high enough range where the model can do more damage at a higher range than the spas24, and it's large scatter helps when you're are sprinting. It doesn't matter if you have good aim with the spas24, the model does much more damage.
First point: Reduce model range.

Here's the thing about shotguns: they aren't entirely bad. Try the m1014. It can do a lot of damage with a single shot. But this is only at a close range. The reason for this is because only at a close range can you get all the "snowballs" to hit the player. This is the main problem with shotguns: scatter. I can guarantee that the spas24 would be much better with reduced scatter. It would give more shotguns a higher range where they can do more damage. But the scatter doesn't necessarily need to be decreased. It can be made where you have to scope to decrease scatter.

This improvement would also fix another problem, which is the one thing that shotguns can't do well that other guns have an easy time with: headshots. It doesn't matter what shotgun is used, a headshot from it would be pretty fatal. The spas24 would then be a really good camping weapon if you hide behind a corner, getting headshots. Right now, shotguns have trouble one-shotting people, and all it does is alert people to your location if you try to camp with any gun but a model.
Second point: Reduce scatter when in scope.

Now, if this were to happen, people would complain that the model1887 wouldn't be that good, but that wouldn't be the case. The model would be a powerful gun with a high scatter to get really easy kills close range while still not having to scope. The spas24 with it's new scope would be great for getting fast, powerful shots with a higher clip, but would require more aim and skill to use. Both these guns would have their uses. The model1887 for more open maps, and the spas24 for a more close range, camping style.

The only reason that the model1887 is so powerful is because it was the last shotgun before prestige guns were added. But still, the model does trump the typhoid. There is only two things the typhoid has the model over the model, and that's scatter and recoil. That doesn't make a difference. If a model and typhoid player were standing at a 4-block difference, the model player would always win since it can get it's one powerful shot out faster than three semi-powerful shots. Since it is the last shotgun, it should get a power buff and get the three shells out faster. If we can have guns like the skull crusher, it wouldn't be a problem making the typhoid an even better model1887. Also, the total ammo of the typhoid does need to be increased. Technically speaking, it only has 11 shots in a default non-donator or killstreak set, and that is horrible low.

Now the matter with the aa12. That gun does need a slight improvement. Compare it to the executioner. Not many people use it, but is is a fantastic pistol. It allows to rush, and it allows for close range combat without having to scope, complementing long-range weapons such as the crossbow and the ray gun, pretty much being a close range deagle. The most important thing the executioner has over the other 2 last pistols is that is has no recoil, which not many guns have. The recoil in the aa12 should be removed. If this were to happen, it would become an executioner with more scatter, faster firerate, and a larger clip. Point being, a shotpistol shouldn't do it's job better than a shotgun. The total amount of ammo should be increased as well, since it will take around 5 shells to kill someone.

So the main points of this is: reduce model range, reduce scatter in scope, increase typhoid damage and ammo, and reduce aa12 recoil and increase ammo.

Please, if you object to any of these points, do tell in the comments. Shotguns are by far the most underpowered guns in MC-War, and I want to see shotguns other than the model1887 to make kids rage.

 

This is all the result of being extremely bored in Chemistry class and daydreaming the entire time. :v
