So I was playing on my other account, and was in Sharqi, so I went Engineer and used the default Shotgun, since I usually always use the Jackhammer, I got 27 kills very fast, ended up with a nice ratio at the end of the round it was like 30/6 with the Shotgun, died a few times since incompetent medics didn't know how to use the paddles. But the point is I got like 4 AT mine kills, got the tank 2 times, the APC 1ce and a transport vehicle 1ce. So the point in this topic is to say I think the default Shotgun is better then the Jackhammer. Also I'd say I have really improved in bassically everything and since im not bound to one vehicle or one kit/weapon and use every vehicle (not really ground defence) effectively and now have mastered alot of weapons, im going to master every kit and weapons.

Re: Shotgun
i so agree, the mk3a1 has too much recoil to comfartably shoot at ranges other than 5ft away... -

Re: Shotgun
Yeah, I have recently converted from the jackhammer to the default shotguns as well.
With the jackhammer, I always found myself not being very effective with it because I would usually unload all of my shots really quickly. With the pump shottys I aim much better and kill more often.Comment

Re: Shotgun
I love the stock engi shotgun, I been playin loads with it recently especially in the city maps like Sharqi, Mashtuur and Karkand.
One of the most underrated weapons on BF2.lComment

Re: Shotgun
The MEC default shotgun is very similar to the jackhammer, but slower rate of fire. Jackhammer has a very fast rate of fire of a semi-auto. Its those short clips and darn long reloads on the jackhammer that makes me use it no more. Pump action is great gun for some actions, but when i snipe being an engineer, i use a pistolComment

Re: Shotgun
I love the USMC and PLA pump action shotties. While everyone else kept running around with n00bt00bs, and new players who were **** poor at aiming aswell- I used the shotgun. Its an awesome tool.Comment

Re: Shotgun
I like the default shotty. I'm not a fan of the MEC one really, but I love the PLA and USMC ones. The Euro shotty is just too sweet BTW.Comment

Re: Shotgun
I remember the days of pre 1.2 karkand, I ran into the hotel fire with my trusty M11-87 and when those n00b t00bers decided to jump up to hit me, I would crouch down and give them pump them full of lead in-air

Re: Shotgun
Yup that's what turned me on to the Engineer Pump as well. A fun mini game of skeet shooting.
It's still a seriously powerful weapon. I love it. I've managed 126 points in Karkand with it (and a few very well placed grenades and some hectic medic help :) )
If they just sped the pump speed up by 25% it would be the most lethal weapon in the game.

Re: Shotgun
Yes, the US Engineer's shotty is an amazing weapon. I use the class nightly before switching over to being a medic. Even better when AT mines catch oncoming vehicles for more points accrual.Comment

Re: Shotgun
I think the jackhammer is a horrible gun, I prefer the original shotty for the USMC, but I don't even really like that :hmm:Comment

Re: Shotgun
The Jackhammer is not a bad gun. Problem is that you will find yourself most likely reloading the weapon once used instead of taking the chance of attacking again with the remaining shots.
In other words, you really need a Support soldier nearby for ammo feeds.Comment
