I think I might have a problem with shotguns...

Next week:  drum mags.

 

I also might have a problem getting images to show up.      There we go.  A couple stacks of ammo derped out on the ride down.

You have multiple problems. Good luck unscrewing yourself.

[stielhandgranate 480]

I don't see an image. Did you buy a Saiga 12 or Vepr 12? If so, congrats. They are pretty fun.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH SHOTS FIRED!

How are shotguns lately?  I survived a point blank shot with only a ruined shirt and broken arm yesterday.  Didn't bleed and I don't think I really took any damage honestly, my color hardly changed if at all.  Didn't even damage my vest oddly enough (anti stab vest any ways).

I've been tooling around the countryside with the double-barrel shotty, blasting zombies for shits and giggles. Does pretty well on them, heh. Haven't met a single damn person.

I killed a guy near novodmitrovsk the other night while derping around & looking for a friend, I shot him once with the IZH-43 which seemed to knock him out, I fired the second round to be sure, I'd estimate the range was 30 to 40 meters. 

 

Shotguns seem to be functioning pretty well for me from my limited experience with them.

I managed to down a guy with one shot from the mp133, but I wouldn't know if he was at full health of course.

[Grimey Rick 3417]

Me and my Newfie friend messed around with the MP-133 the other night. I was able to hit him at 110 meters or so and the shot took him from healthy to a grey screen.

One of my new favorite weapons!

I took a player out with a double barrel in a single shot at about 60-70 meters. He ran up to my friend and myself and we were about to start a nice refreshing swim back to the mainland from Skalisty isle. He didn't have a gun but did have a melee weapon and just kept dancing back and forth at that range talking to us. I told him to go away and run deeper into the island as we were leaving. Mentioned there were a few things unlooted and he should go away. He kept trying to move a bit closer and moving back and forth without going away. So I unloaded one barrel. He fell dead. Both I and my friend were shocked at how effective it still was out that far.

As the now-present picture shows, I prefer mine sawed.  They still have a decent punch, but not at distance.  I use them for killing close up zeds, or for indoor security.  They will break legs, but do little health damage if used well; giving you time to negotiate.  I try to carry extra pants to be nice.  They will also make a wall-peeker think twice about opening that door.  ;)

A backup sawed-off has saved me a couple times. I never feel right without one.

[star-lord252 83]

I have shotgun powers...... Most people I've killed w a shotgun is a one shot kill. Maybe its because my character is dean hall I also find a lot of beans.

Edit- @Bororm you have a sword to I thought I was the only one able to find swords I found mine in zub along with two flanged maces per restart I was online.

I prefer the MP5/AK74u as a backup weapon, they are just harder to find. I will often pick up the first hacksaw I find and hold on to it till I run into a double barrel shotgun. At that point I find two more empty spaces and start carrying that as a backup only dumping it for either a nice pistol or above mentioned guns. I've actually considered carrying a pump shotgun as my "main" if I could get another AK74u for my backpack. It works pretty well in any close engagements.

With the magazine issues associated with the various AK, the mp133 is my go to gun. Kills consistently at 50-75 yards. I carry a longhorn for longer ranged engagements.

I love the sawn* off at close quarters. I hate the pump.

 

*aka 'sawed' (US, CAN) and in this game.

It's the first one I've ever found, and the second one I've ever seen.  I have a feeling they might be slightly more common this patch, or maybe I was just very lucky.  Yet to see the mace, sounds like you have good luck with that stuff!

Yeah, the pump action gives enough time for an enemy to empty a Makarov or 1911, but with a speedloader or extra shotgun, you can have two more ready to go pretty quickly.  Anyone less than 50 feet away will hurtin for certain.

[Mad Scientist 73]

I love the sawed off double barrel...push "T" to change the fire mode and you can let off both barrels at once for ultimate devastation!! Works the same for the Blaze!!
