angel the stock settings for a shotgun is actually more powerful than the freezetag servers and most mods actually turn down the dmg of a shotgun due people claim the auto shottie is a "noob" gun.. which if you look at it... 4 shells.. slower reload... shorter shot distance.. its no where near a noob gun.. anyways thats a different arguement.. problem is this.. ill call bullshit on getting killed 30-40 yards away with a shotgun because i personally have tested the range limits of the shotgun in our servers with Rage... in FT 1&2 the shotgun max distance is 22.7 yards.. and at that distance if the person is full health.. if you unload 4 shells into them.. they still are alive.. .. you have to be a minimum of 13 yards for 1 shot 1 kill...... ALSO the range in other servers on the shotgun is believe it or not around the same.. most servers have around a 20 -21 yard range for shotguns.. now as far as you say they are overpowered.. what your not realizing .. is they actually were turned down ALOT and you can ask rugger.. i pitched a bitch about it when it happened. but ive gotten used to them now.... thing is.. why complain about someone that uses a shotgun.. or the shotgun in general.. when the person has to get so close to you.. and is very very very limited on the ammount of shots they have.... when there are so many more guns you can complain about like the p90.. or RPD... or the SAW.. that are over powered... hell the RPD u can snipe people with better than a G3 or a sniper rifle.. and do it semi auto!
