The range/accuracy of a shot gun is horrible at long and mid range but the power makes up for it at close range. One option on the shotgun is faster fire rate for a little less damage and the other is a high damage but slow shot speed. It’s a toss up on what you prefer. I am assuming with both guns that we are shooting a slug/bullet of some sort. This is a more deadly option then the other style of bird shot. Which is a multiple pellet style used for shooting wild game. Since we are using a slug would it not make sense to have a smaller cross hair for shooting from the hip? The current option is huge and accuracy is terrible at any range besides close up. I guess if it was reduced in size to maybe a softball size crosshair rather than the beach ball size one it is currently set at it may help a lot of players using these 2 weapons. Some may argue it should not be used at range. Let me make it clear I am talking about 5-10 meters away not a 100 meters.

I like the shotguns but it seems it is not as good off a choice as other weapons on large open maps.

Your thoughts?

Thats why theres a module for that situation....POINT FIRE ENHANCE...reduce hipfire spread

You aren't supposed to use shotguns on open maps. In the same way using a sniper on impact will result in a very uncomfortable asswhooping. Using a tactical shotgun, ie not the ones used for game hunting, should be up close and personal. There has to be a balance between realism and fair gameplay. I think the single shot jackal is perfectly balanced. Not sure about the marshall as I have never used it.

uh.....in SP using a sniper rifle with reflex sights at close range can be devastatingly useful especially on the ceph
