Akimbo + FMJ + 1887's = what update?

[=MNKY=Frosty]

After a bit of field testing, I can confirm that using Bling with Akimbo FMJ Model 1887's makes their range back to WTF mode.

I also did some testing with other forms of the weapon:

Akimbo FMJ Bling - WTF Range
Akimbo - Nerfed Range
Akimbo Bling (No FMJ) - Nerfed Range
FMJ - Nerfed Range
Bling (alone) - Nerfed Range
FMJ Bling (not akimbo) - Nerfed Range
None of the above - Nerfed Range

So it seems it isn't FMJ that makes the weapon have wtf range, and it isn't just Bling that makes it have wtf range, but the Combination of Akimbo and FMJ (and obviously Bling) that turns the Models back into their brutely overpowered predecessor.

So boys, get ya shotties back out and have some more OP fun!

I wonder how long it will take them to work it out.

I've got nothing against older weapons, but i find it ruins the modern warfare feel when i see Army Rangers running around with two 1887's.

Hoping IW tweak the FMJ range.

Shows that IW wants to keep that range obviously. The 1887s never bothered me tho, so i cant complain.
