Darts is what I always used. Donno why I keep calling it Mass. The M26 DART is what I have most kills with for shotguns. What's the statistic difference between MASS and DART now? I don't get the difference. I used to do way better with the dart but now it sucks what changed?
MASS = Modular Accessory Shotgun System. M26 MASS is the name of the weapon, DART (flechettes) is the ammo used along with BUCK(shot), SLUG and FRAG.
In the last patch, they reduced the damage of the dart ammo from 14.3 to 12.5 and buck ammo from 20 to 16 (per projectile, with 12 projectiles per shot). They extended the range a bit and gave the darts a bit more of a tighter spread, but all the same you now need to land more pellets on target to get a one hit kill.
Unless you mount the weapon under a rifle.

When equipped underbarrel the pellets do the damage of the assault rifle (per pellet), massively increasing the overall damage. With the heavy barrel the damage falloffs are extended, increasing mid range damage even more. With a silencer you don't show up on the minimap when using the m26.
Dart ammo is particularly broken because it no longer has less damage due to the bug, but retains its increased range stats.
Here's some stats for you, on a G3 with a heavy barrel the M26 Dart shoots 408 damage worth of pellets that keep that max damage all the way out to 21 metres and still does 264 damage past 45 metres. This means virtually guaranteed on shot kills up to 30 metres and possible one shot kills at 45+ metres. Oh and since its a shotgun you don't really need to aim well to get these one shot kills.
This is more broken than the L85 no spread no recoil glitch.
DICE breaking more things in a patch then they fix. Who'da thunk it?
