I use the Shotty at the first flag exclusively, not only does it give myself competition because I have to get close to those buggers and if I do get close its one shot. To use the shottie you have to have skill. YOu have to get close because the reload is crappy, unless you use the DAO or Jack, but I like the M11-87 for Karkand, and in that you have to do what you can to get close enough, some might call it bunny-hopping or whatever, but to get close, otherwise the shotty is a major disadvantage, for those that use the shotty out of a tank are my heros.
The us and china shotties absolutely rock. Songhua, karkand and Daqing are all ruled by the mighty pump actions.
On a karkand server yesterday this one guy on the other team was OWNING with the USMC shotgun. Our whole squad refered to him as "Shotgun man" because hed kill EVERYONE with that thing and only could be killed at long range.

If you've gotten good with the pump-shotguns, you'll quickly realise that the Jackhammer is worthless. It's weak and horribly inaccurate, even for a shottie. It DOES NOT kill in one hit like a real shotgun does. On the other hand, it gets you ones step closer to the MP7, which gives your engineer a new-style of weapon, and another one that's great fun for the really tight combat on Karkand or Warlord. Gotta love that 900rpm.Kontrolfreq wrote:

Nah, Jackhammer FTW! It's main advantage is also its disadvantage, you can shoot off all seven shots in a little over one second! ...Shred your enemies before they can blink!MrE`158 wrote:

Ever look in the Localization files? There is a kill category for [wrench]. Sadly, I think DICE disabled it as a weapon. I mean... what are you going to do, tighten someone's gonads?Tjasso wrote:

He probably had been playing Halo (for the PC) with the shotgun. Now that is a deadly pump-action, and if you know how to use that and can get into the groove, the transfer from Halo to BF2 isn't that hard. People like that are insane.N)!(NDarkDragon wrote:

I rekon its one of the, if not the best looking guns, and for some reason I love the fact its a pump actions.
HALO..remembers me the good times: bunnyhopping like insane, use pistol as an sniper, and the shotgun for the win at blood gulchTheDarkRaven wrote:

Im goin for expert engie and i like the pump shotties for close range, but they have barely any spread. You have to get a direct hit with the middle of the reticle for a hit. Whats the point of the circle anyway? If u hit within the circle just outside of the middle reticle you do like 5 dmg each. Against sum1 with an automatic weapon, forget it. Ive been using the jackhammer alot, its pretty good if you go semi auto with it since you dont waste all your ammo on one guy and be defenseless against multiple enemies.
Oldest weapon in game the M11-87? No...
AK47 - Late 40s
G3A3 - Mid 60s
SVD - Early 60s
PKM - Late 60s
M9 Bayonet AKA "Knife" - Early 80s

In infantry only scrims and matches I have been seeing alot more people using it. Its a beast up close especially if they know how to bunny hop.horny_trojan wrote:
recently, ive noticed that the pump shottie has emerged as a significant weapon among skilled players in karkand and other infantry based maps because i've been one of those using it. i think it is cool because it comes about as these players are using it as a primary weapon and not as merely a way to lay mines. I believe that pump shotties would only increase in popularity if there were more infantry oriented maps, such as karkand.
i can't use the Pump-Action shotties worth shit...
Jackhammer FTW!!! (DOA is ok too... )

Thanks horny_trojan! After reading your post I decided to try the shotgun on karkand, and I cleaned up!! Most fun I've had playing BF2 in months... +1
i have ALWAYS used teh pump shottie.......it is the best shotgun in game.i shot 1 kill 90% of time.
Quite honestly I would use the shotgun a lot more if the quarters were a lot closer. I use it sometimes inside Iron Gator if I dont feel like going with the g3 or doa-12.
had a shot as using the EF shotty (i think it was anyways)...
now that thing kicks ass, all the power of the normal pumps, but at semi auto speed.
damn thatd would own in Karkand

or use it as a bat to hit back grenades! and when you kill somebody with his own grenade... home run around him instead of teabagging..Tjasso wrote:
