Suggestions: More Shotguns | Forums

[Elzziwelzzif]

First suggestions would be the addition of more shotguns.

The current selection has very few potions, of which only one is allowed attachments (SASG-12)
We could use some more shotguns, smaller ones, with attachments.

We have a lot of options for SMG's, Assault Rifles, snipers, and even LMG's. The only thing lacking are shotguns.

aside from the MOAS remington 870 trench gun..... what other shotties are worth it? maybe the Benelli M1?

Outside of RP Aspects Shotguns unfortunately are completely useless in GRW, even clearing Radio Stations works better with SMGs or AR. So more Shotguns wouldn't change that.

I definitely think there should be more shotguns. I would also be greatly appreciative of a mod for a slightly larger tube on the Super Shorty so it could have at least three/four shots. Two shells renders it useless in almost every situation.

I am for more weapons, but I just can't see an opportunity or a situation to use a shotgun or where a shotgun is needed in this game. Not my preferred weapon but I do like the animations a good shotgun hit can produce.

I agree regarding the Serbu Super Shorty. It should have 3 rounds (2 in tube, 1 in chamber) in the normal and 4 rounds (3 in tube, 1 in chamber) for the long barreled option, as per the real world specifications.

A few nice shotguns:
DP-12 Double Barrel Pump 12ga
Mossberg Maverick Thunder Ranch HS12 Over/Under Shotgun 12 Gauge
UTAS UTS-15 Pump-Action Shotgun 12 Gauge 18.5" Barrel 15
Fabarm Shotgun

Probably some more, but lets keep it at these for an example.

While the Saiga 12 works decently, its quite a large gun, often overshadowing assault rifles, or even some LMG's.
Some people might like it, but for those who like a shotgun as a secondary options it might be a dealbreaker.
Or people who love the compact look, with some stopping power. You have the Super shorty for that, or a collapsed SPAS-12, but the first only has 2 shots, while the second has the worst sight picture in the game while in compact mode (personal opinion).

Some might say shotguns are useless, compared to an AR or SMG, and depending on the usage/ situation i can agree.
But be it RP or Playstyle, some people like the more "personal" approach of a shotgun.

For me personally it's both RP an Playstyle.
I just love shotguns. They work simple yet are effective (and often look nice).
Always going with headshots or spray-and-pray takes the fun out of it pretty fast for me, but thats me.

Yeah, so sad shotgun is not viable option.

Well, against small number, maybe.

But for stealth, it's too noisy. For heavy firefight, the range is too low and the bullet spread may miss your shot.
