Model 1887

Akimbo, Model 1887.

Holy, Jesus H Christ.

The range, the damage. Just, o m g.

If you hadn't noticed what I am saying, basically, they are stupendously AWESOME.

They deserve a primary slot let alone secondary. :shock:

Re: Model 1887

Yeah, but there rate of fire is horrible. Fun to use, great at clearing rooms, but you catch someone out in the open pray for cover or pray you can close the difference.

Re: Model 1887

i've been pwnd by guys using that weapon as a jump around the corner mid-air shoot n kill gun. from the killcam, the weapon kicked a$$.

Re: Model 1887

The range is crazy, you can be like 25ft away from the person and it's still an easy 1 shot kill.

Re: Model 1887

Ok, I just saw someone using them (Mostly from killcam) and: They need to go.
Its basically a long range knife. Insta-kill from across the room.
And I am already thinking that commando-pro was a mistake, since it makes you almost defenceless againt the run-n-stab crowd

Re: Model 1887

Commando pro is ridiculous anyways. No fall damage + longer knife? :/

Re: Model 1887

Ah so that's what its pro is, makes it seem just a bit to OP.
I have never liked it due to the ease of running up and killing, seems just a bit unrealistic (unless they dive for you, which they should) .

does commando pro allow you to fall and survive falls that normally kill you even with full health?

I think it prevents all fall damage - though I haven't tested it with different heights, but I definitely made some big drops and took no damage.

Re: Model 1887

The problem for me with Commando is that the knife range is huge anyway, when you compensate in the lag you can be getting kills without it from about 2 - 3 metres anyway, doubling that is ridiculous.

Yeah, It prevents ALL fall damage, I have been using it...it is crazy.

Re: Model 1887

it's gonna take me forever to get those shotguns. i'm close to the ranger shotgun though, how does it compare to the model 1887?

Re: Model 1887

The ranger is fun, but is much better for close quarters than the 1887.

Indeed, I feel it is overall better then the model, I used it for the last few levels before I prestiged, after getting flamed at for using the model numerous times to rank up faster, there really is no significant difference. besides the kill distance (but up close it is pretty bad) and the reload time.
Overall I think the ranger is the way to go.
