shotgun range poll.

[Roger Smith]

u test it with both shotties?

[Kodakk]

Nah, just the pump - if somebody else wants to test the other one feel free... I'm no longer in this debate as it is arguable either way, I'll just post it up for people to see.

[waaah_wah]

What about the shotguns in PR? Huh? Huhhhh?

What about them..?

If you are lazy, here is a gif of the maximum range.


My kit:
Pump Shotgun
Grip
Stopping power
Deep impact

Here is a good tip: Don't zoom in, there is no point. And auto shotgun is terrible to begin with, they lower the damage to balance it out with the other shotgun. Also, notice how it also tells you if you are in range with the red crosshair.

So whats this point blank I keep hearing about?

Wow the shot gun is fine. I only use it to make the game fair. Nothing better then the auto shotty. 4 fast shots, knife and 3 nades. That is all you need in the world. If you can aim with the shotty two shots can kill from far. Just reload, if someone has a weapon that is long range, take cover and cook a nade. Or run to them and knife em.

Nothing needs to be changed or added. I enjoy the shotgun for fun up close combat. I love to knife, and the shotty is my anti knife. So i am really using the shotty for after my knife kills, then once its time. I can go back an knife again.

gold shotty ftw!

[Keyelite]

Yep, lol soge I remember the damage you can do with the shotty

[Roger Smith]

unconvinced.

the stock weapon and on hardcore.

the only reason i am unconvinced is that i have been much closer, even using sites for a perfect shot. i unloaded an entire tube into a guy, not one point of damage. ill do more STOCK HARDCORE testing tonight.

Are you talking about the aim, or stock shotty's range?

I don't know too much about HC with the shotty's, cause it's pointless. All guns do the same damage, the shotty is almost pointless. ALMOST, meaning not all the way.

Only thing I can say is while taking aim always aim to the right, and kinda high. I get more head shots then body shots most times. Also jumping and using the shotty is uber leet. It makes for perfect head shots too.

Also if you shoot more then twice you should be in knifing range, so why in the heck would you shoot anymore?

[Chris_Redfield]

The shotgun shouldn't be a status weapon that only guys that think they are l33t use. It should be a close quarters weapon, NOT a POINT BLANK weapon.

- They are not just point blank weapons

- A shotgun is a 1 shot 1 kill weapon, which is precisely why it should be an "uber l33t" weapon

I really hope we'r not talking about how shotguns perform IRL here... Coz a shotgun is effective FAR beyond 10 meters

Brilliant, just... brilliant. Holy sh!t...

Then why were you firing 4 shots at a guy?

Thank you for sharing your lack of intellect with us.

1) This video isnt mind

2) There are a lot more things to consider, like lag, distance, ping, perks. The fact that he used 4 shots to kill someone at specific points does not overshadow him 1 shot killing most of his victims.

If you want to make a point, state your mind. If you want to be slapped, well...

And it looks like he is playing HC anyway. Use the M14. Same job, 16 more rounds, and you can kill people across the map.

I can tell you that. Im playing more SC than HC, and all of the shots and kills he made, are a standard in SC. Id even say he sucks, but oh well.

And you proved my point about weapon balance being out of the window in HC. Directly or indirectly.

[Kayback]

Sorry? If I hit you in the head with a 9X19, will you regen?

I've already said multi pistol rounds to the head isn't believeable. Now you're just being petty.

I did say, however, multi 9x18mm Makerov rounds (something the Skorpion uses, along with the .32ACP and 9mm Short) will take multiple rounds to the body to kill. That is believeable. If you don't want multi pistol headshots, play HC. Single brain shot with any gun = dead.

I'm happy to have proven your point that all the weapons in HC are deadly. They are meant to be.

However all the weapon in both HC AND SC perform pretty much like they should.

The shotguns simply don't.

They suffer from too many restricitons. Range, rate of fire, and spread. All of those are modeled on someone's misconception of a "scattergun".

The range of a shotgun is so low you might as well take those 2 steps and knife the enemy.

I'm also not asking for like a 1000000000000% increase in range. All I'm asking is for a little less redneck-I-gots-a-boomstick and slightly more actual shotgun.

If you doubled the range of the shotgun, it would be more versatile, but not totally own.

As it is, the shotgun doesn't fill any nieche besides SC one shot to kill up close and personal.

And I really hate seeing something as versatile as a shotgun relegated to that.

SO I'll bugger off and play my other game... better yet I go grab a box of ammo and head to the range.
