I seriously beg to differ. But, in your defense yes it does take no skill camping in a closely knitted area waiting for someone to round the corner. But again, when your holding your handy assault rifle, and I weave through all of your bullets dodging every single headshot you intended to land on me, I think I more than deserved to shoot you 2x with my shotgun. As is, the shotgun is basically the worst weapon in the game. Because as I said earlier, you might as well try to get 3rd base with the person your killing otherwise your a sitting duck with a giant Stick that just makes noise.

Then there's always the alternate case. If you spot me from a distance with your trusty assault rifle, and I weave up to you dodging headshots popping in and out of my box, and by the time I get to you the very last bullet, you fire is a headshot on me. You still deserved to die.

The shotgun as I see it, is a very limiting weapon. You can only use it at a close range. And if you wanna talk about No skill, lets talk about the knife considering we can Auto-Aim with it now. Not quite like the old days of MGO1. And with the knife (even after being 'nerfed') its actually even easier thanks to the instant stun function on it. But back to the shotgun, the shotgun has no real benefits other than it can "stun" its victim for some time. That's it. Whether its the knock back (which I've learned my lesson in doing. Its a bad choice on my part) or the Auto Aim stun frame. Also even with the slugs and a scope don't expecting to get any Headshots either. I know you can do it with slugs believe me I know. But they're alot harder to get.

But look at the assualt rifles. You can use CQC with them. Which is nice. The clip size is usually bigger than 20 rounds and the rate of fire and stopping power isn't too bad either. Also all you have to do is put their head in the middle of that OTS ring and fire or even just around their neck area and the recoil will take care of the rest. The face remains that Assault rifles are still the most versatile weapon in this entire game. As its been proven to me (As an avid shotgun user) that If I'm not careful my face is gonna be eating lead for the next few days even in the "sweet" range for a shotgun.

So honestly I really don't wanna hear the Shotgun takes no skill. This isn't MGO1 where the Shotgun was an unstoppable Juggernaut that everyone feared. And this definitely ain't Rainbow Six Vegas, where the shotgun are about as realistic and amazing as they actually are with the effective range and everything.

I agree with you on some points. It is rather stupid to kill someone when using a certain weapon, but... I must say, in all honesty. The shotgun is a shit weapon, it's just a lame weapon, that seriously, requires no skill at all. Use it if you must, I don't care, I rarely encounter people using it, and if I do I usually kill them faster then they kill me. The most annoying part on the shotgun is the idiotic 'stun' you get when shot, someone can keep shooting at you, and you can't do shit. When you finally managed to aim at someone using a shotgun, he'll just shoot you, so you get the stun, and therefore: lose your aim. Which is just the most annoying thing ever.

And now about the Mosin Nagant, sure, it's a good weapon, that requires a lot of skill. But why? I don't understand why anyone should use it, it's pretty much useless. Getting stunned is the most annoying shit ever, seriously, I'd rather get killed then get stunned. It;s ridicilous, your team hardly ever helps you, especially in the line of sniper fire. The time to wake up is ridicilous, and most of the time, when I'm almost awake, some retard comes along, stands in front of me, aims exactly on my head, and shoots. They need to fix the time, or just make it go to 2 psyche bars, not all 4.

Then again, I would never kick someone for using those weapons in combat, it's just annoying at times.

Also, that stuff about 14 year old kids doing shit like that, sure some do, but that's bullshit. There are people who are 20+ who do shit like that, it's not just 'kids'.
