Shotguns? Me?

***EDIT
Sorry was half asleep.

MK3A1, I never really used as I could never unlock it, SPAS12 was OP with Slugs (Most shotguns in BF3 where OP with slugs). Shotguns in BF4 are a little weird with their damage stats.

The starer shotgun QBS-09 is pretty decent (2 Service Stars so far) it suffers a little with only 6 shots before you have to reload, you can rack up some awesome kills streaks in crowded areas. Strangely out of all the shotguns it and the HAWK have the highest damage, with 95.

HAWK12, SPAS12, 870MCS and UTS-15 are all pump actions so 10m or closer chest/face will equal a kill, any further and it's a gamble putting in 2 or 3 shots to kill (2-3 with 00 buck, 3-4 with flechette 2 with slugs).

SAIGA and M1014 are basically the same, SAIGA for me gives less recoil, and has 5 points more in accuracy, also it has a mag so quicker reloads.

DBV-12 I still have to unlock but it seems to be similar to the SAIGA (from using it in SP)

00 Buck: Awesome at close range
Flechette: Good for Close to medium range (won't get as many kills)
Slugs: Aim well and score some *BS* kills.
FRAG: Useless after the fiasco in BF3, still helpful if you want to suppress people, I have got a few kills with it but it seems they only do about 20-30 damage a round.

What I really want is the DAO-12! :D

I have the Dbv12,and in my honest opinion its pretty meh,I honestly see no reason to go for it over the Saiga,the most present thing is how badly those shots start to spread after 3 or 4 shots,It seems like a close range masterblaster rather than a close-mid to mid range shottie like most others,suppose that huge spread is pretty usefull point blank :D
 
Glordit thanx for the inv m8 but i have no shotgun unlocked of any kind :(

I went and looked around a bit seems i have to play assault and get a score of 16K before i unlock that and so far i only play recon :(

Just play a round or two of Locker, and drop ammo everywhere. I got 27 ribbons in one match.

Shotguns to me in general feel weak (just like DMR's and Sniper Rifles). Have you tried the DBV 12 with a Full or Modified Choke? Or does it still spread out badly?

Support score I think, not assault.

Thanks for the games last night guys. Was great fun when I eventually got into a squad that wasn't pants-on-head retarded.

Yep, locker = kit unlocker map :D

Was so excited to unlock the G36C, but damn, they've changed it.
My best gun in BF3 is now dumbed down to an airsoft gun
RoF in BF3 = 750, BF4 = 650. Slower than the AKU, but less stable and less accurate =/
 
@Alientaker: You need to unlock a shotgun with Support class first. After that you can equip "a" shotgun on any class and unlock the rest.

@FiveStar: Lol yeah dude, you were on our server last night, I remember that nick. You were on our team, right? The okes in our team were quite retarded though so we lost many, many, many rounds before we started winning some games, eventually. xD

Rofl, no probs dude- the shotguns are only good for that map anyway! Haha. I had so much fun with the shotties in BC2 and BF3, but in BF4...PFFFFT (*spit flying all over the place*) Soooo shit! Terrible/non-existent hitreg when using slugs.

Protip: DON'T use slugs. You won't be able to even hit a wall in front of you, point blank.

BC2 & BF3 Shoguns and Slugs were awesome, I would get raged at for hacking because I could kill snipers with a DOA12.

Are you using a choke with the slugs? That messes up their aim (for reasons unknown according to DICE) IRL you can fire a slug with a smooth choke or a machined one. I don't think they know how shotguns really work.

Chokes in general increase accuracy, of any ammunition used.

Xmas season will rake in...

New players
Kids
Griefers
Moaners
Hackers
Snipers
Campers
Pro Pipers
Artfull Dodgers (not too sure if hacking or just skilled)
Many of niceties and nasties.

TL;DR
BF4 will be played until BF5 comes out.

I play HC because there is none of this:
Can_e3dfad_185670.gif


Also HC people don't spam constantly and actually do use valid tactics, if it was normal mode we would have taken that last flag and spawn raped the other team, but they managed to hold us off with 2 snipers and 400 airburst n00bs.

Just got to use the duckbill until you unlock a proper choke, still you'll only manage kills with a shotgun at close range, until they fix it :( (if they ever do...)

Christmas time was the best for playing bf 3. So many easy kills :D
 
Have any of you guys tried the commander app on a tablet?

Played a couple of rounds on it last night and it works really well.

Now if only my squads would listen to me that would be great.

Better save up your boosts for when the noobies join,i want a 200% one for a lockers 64player high ticket server.

I dont think you can stack XP boosts, I tried but it just says your current one will be replaced.

My load out for that would be
Support
Type 88 and the XM25 Airburst.

Plan of action
Drop ammo, spam choke points with both guns.

Proffit?

Best is when you have the V40 mini and 2 ammo crates next to you, you can spam grenades until the ammo box expires, I swear I have tossed about 6-8 grenades in a row.
