NC shotguns

[Ghoest9]

Does any one have experience with more than one of them? And would like share their thoughts?

I played with Mauler but did have an oppertunity to try the other 2.

Haven't gotten to use 'em myself, but I can't fathom why they don't look like this any more.

I mean they went from badass to short and stupid looking.

If it had a magazine loaded, it would look essentially like a gauss rifle. You can see where the port for the magazine is just in front of the trigger.

For the most part, the shotguns just take the carbine model and add a stock. I'd kill for something that actually looks like a shotgun. Actually, as far as small arms weapons go, just about everything is pretty much lacking in variety, save for a few examples. I can't really tell one rifle from another in most cases. The TR pulled off notable variety with their ARs, but their LMGs and carbines all look virtually the same.

I've used the Sweeper a decent amount.

In indoor/base battles it's pretty effective, forget ADS and put the circle around somebody's face.
I haven't used the other ones...but looking at stats they only have a 6 round magazine instead of 8. That seems like it'd be very detrimental. They aren't going to be one hit kills when the Sweeper is already 2/3 in most cases. I think the magazine is worth it. But you can cert a bigger magazine...so I'm not sure.

Yeah, not a fan of the lack of variety when it comes to the look of guns.

Yeah, I just don't like it. While it looks similar to gauss rifle, it looks cool. Now it looks simialr to the carbines, which I don't think look cool.

Though, that looks pump action, so maybe they will add it back in later?

all I know is they scraped a lot of cool alpha/beta assets for crappier ones.

Are you saying the sweeper does 1 shots 2/3s the time or that the sweeper does removes 2/3s max life?

Will it one shot on an up close head shot?

The Jackhammer is an abomination, it needs a LOT of work. The biggest problem is that it has absolutely no range. It's formidable in engagements that are 10 yards or under but past 20 yards you're better off with your pistol.

2 or 3 hits to kill.
It might kill on a solid headshot. I thought I might have a couple times, but in hectic indoors stuff it's hard to tell if someone was at full health.

They've already said they'll be increasing range and decreasing bullet spread. Making it more like flachette instead of pellets.

I used the Mauler and also tried the Sweeper.
To be honest, I would probably be unable to tell which one I had equipped if not for the magazine size, but I ended up telling myself that the Mauler felt more powerful.

I couldn't tell which one was more likely to get 1 or 2 shot kills, since I use the "Shoot-until-they-are-completely-and-absolutely-dead" method.
