The shotguns are too heavy

Anyone else think the shotguns are pretty much useless beacuse of there weight restrictions?

IMO the shotguns should drop down a weight class.. The Mossington should be light, and the Hjammerdiem should be medium.

If you play multiplayer you wouldnt want this, Lights pop out of nowhere all the time, not to mention mediums and heavies, they could down you in a second with the Mossington from behind.
Im saying this a person who plays light 70% of the time

Not at all. Lights would shotguns would be horrible IMO, lights runniing around, sliding under you and blowing you away with a shotty, then fleeing the scene. would be unbalanced, thats why i think they are not for lights.

Im a heavy with a mossington as a secondary, i think its balanced out well. so no changes with shotguns.

As a decent Light player, I have to say HELL NO!

Me with a shotgun would be unfair on anything but Lights. Seriously.

High-damage, Knockdown, and stupidly fast... REALLY bad idea.

And the Hjammerdeim, used right, is one of the most brutal guns you can get. It's half the reason I got through the Be More Objective 2 star challenge at level 9. Without that, NO WAY I would have done the repair objective without dying.

Seriously, if you have someone who's good with either shotgun, they're incredibly powerful - if they weren't in the weight class they're in, they'd be overpowered.

Shotguns are too bursty to be balanced on a light character - they can close distance and avoid fire too easily to be given the ability to one shot opponents with something like the mossington (not that lights arent already one shotting at close range, using the barnett or drognov like shotguns >.>)

I do think that both shotguns should be considered medium weapons though, the Hjammerdeim is pretty difficult to use as a heavy but would fit a medium well I think.
