BF2S Forums DAO12 or Jackhammer?

umm i got the jackhammer it comes in handy i have had the da0-12 (stole it) umm their almsot the same but the dao is a lot better at range

the dao has a bigger ammo clip and the added bonus of reloading mid clip, like if u have shot 5 rounds u can put 5 in. i vote for the dao.

oh and i have both and i like the dao better.

Jackhammer No Doubt

The DAO12 has a larger ammo capacity, but that also means that reloading once you run out of your 12 shells will take a long time. The good thing is that you can reload mid-clip.

The Jackhammer is extremely useful in close-range, especially since it gets rid of the pump. However, that means you will run out quicker and have to reload more often.

Long-range, both of these, like any other shotgun, suck. Go with the U.S.M.C. M1187 if you want a shotgun with a somewhat decent long-range effectiveness.

DAO hands down...Like someone above wrote, If you use the AT kit at all, the DAO is 10x better than the SMG.  I dont even use the Jackhammer when Im on USMC of PLA cause I like the pump shotgun better.
Reloading is much easier if you only used a few shots with the DAO.  If you ever need to reload completely with the DAO, its no problem because every single enemy in the map has been eliminated already.

neither.. shotguns are for wussbags

I use both extremly often.  In my opinion, the DAO-12 is a much better upgrade over the default guns than the Jakhammer.  However, for anyone who plays a lot of engineer, I definetly recommend using the Jackhammer.  If your aim is as bad as minegets sometimes, those folow up shots are necesarry.  Still, If I could use the DAO-12 as an engineer, I would.  Firing the Jackhammer in full auto drastically reduces your range so I usually use the two guns the same.

DAO, for the simple reason that the rocket launcher gives you much more flexibility (taking out armor, rocket sniping, etc)

Hmmmm....
I think I'll go for the DAO...
The engineer has a shotgun, a very STRONG shotgun, and the AT submachinegun is less effective than a pistol.
Thnx for the comments everyone!

Shotguns are for wussbags?
when i played engineer i dont know how many times i popped folks with assault rifles from quite a distance...
Not to mention that when capturing a flag there is no such weapon like a shotgun, one shot one kill, while the enemy shots the whole clip like a lunatic but hits nothing...

well, i tried the DAO out...

The pump action is waaaaaay better...

Thats a rather stupid comment considering you have to get up close and personal to be able to use it effectivly. There is a little chance against an enemy with a rifle who is out of effictive fire range.

I don't think any wussbags would risk it to get close enough to shotgun someone.

my opinion ...exactly you have to get close so there area few tactics really .. you either hide till someone gets close, use a trasnport to get next to them .. or if you at medium range you just run at them .. that all fine but whenever you get close to somone, which isnt all that hard, it takes no aim whatsoever you just point and spray if you dao / mk3 .. typically it happens that you spawn next to someone capping a flag then spray in thier general direction ...

i just think its a skilless weapon like the gl people who use it to compensate for thier lack of aim .. just my opinion .. ive seen many retards who cant aim for sh1t get a kill just cuz they happend to be close and sprayed ..go with the pump action at meduim range that takes more skills
