    Hello it's Zap, and I've realized two things.
    My friends usernames are completely insane
    And shotguns are VERY underused.

    Why? Because they are


    1. "Underpowered" This leads pros away from them because they love getting high scores fast with a large kdr. Mostly all shotguns DO need a buff with damage, as a lot of them can't kill 2 blocks away.

    2. Shotguns are not a normal play style. Pros usually like to stay back and 1. Camp or 2. "Rush"
    Nobody realizes shotguns are extremely good because of their low damage. Shotguns can easily sit behind a wall and camp. And with the moddel, with speed, can be the ultimate "rusher"
    Also, most "rushers" start out shooting into a place where people go and jump around. With a shotgun, you actually rush and keep pushing in, getting as many kills as possible and dieing. Also shotguns are the bane of cbow spammers. We all know were screwed when we get hit by an arrow, a person with a shotgun can keep running through and kill him. Sadly because of the low use of shotguns cbow noobs rein supreme.

    My solution? Buff shotguns like everyone else suggest, so we can open up a whole new type of gameplay in mc-war.

    I've always thought of two types of shotguns. The semi automatic ones, and the pump action ones. Pump action shotguns have that slow firerate (SPAS-12, Model 1887, SPAZ-24) but high damage. I would honestly want to see a few changes to those shotguns, like high damage and slow firerate. The semi automatic shotguns (M1014, Typhoid) generally have a higher firerate and low damage, as well as a small magazine size. I would want to see a firerate buff and damage nerf to the M1014. That would open a new form of combat.
    The thing is, to make shotguns more usable, many things need to be done. These are my suggestions, but it would be nice to see shotguns that can actually be used.

    I'll admit, I haven't touched a shotgun in a good while. A buff would be nice :smile:

    For me , some shotgun like moddel1887 do not need a buff (it is already having a high damage) , but like typhoid and aa12 , these 2 guns REALLY need a buff (more ammo for aa12 , damage buff and firerate nerf for Typhoid).

    Just a little question , I always mix up 'nerf' and 'buff' , can someone explain which one is adding and which one is decreasing :L

    Make the Spas24 worth **** and I'll use it every game...

    And shotguns are great, I used to use moddel all the time and now I sometimes use typhoid.
    And I almost always use executioner in TDM
    Nerf makes it worse
    Buff makes it Better

    I agree with the fact that some shotguns need a damage buff. Shotguns are suppose to be deadly at close range, especially if all the bullets hit :v If shotguns were to receive a buff, they would be used much more often.

    I agree with this, but the shotguns just won't be used, except for model.

    in the past people have wanted the moddel's damage to be switched with typhoid. to op. 3 shots in a row, each shot does as much damage as 1 moddel

    The only shotgun that doesn't need a buff is the Model. All the other shotguns, I would agree with.

    The only shotguns I want to nerf/buff:

    1. Nerf the moddel. It's like the old barret, but a shotgun.
    2. Buff the spas24 and typhoid. The spas24 is rarely instakill, even from close up. Typhpoid just needs a slight damage buff.

    I agree. Also, I think way too many guns can 1 shot. It's impossible to rank up if you aren't already a high level.

    You can rank up easily with the snipers/autos.

    EDIT: Dragonuv, l118a, m16, etc.

    EDIT EDIT: Well, I can anyways.
