@Hilshire12 The PK was average at mid-range, one of the reasons by they did the swap.
The Mastiff isn’t even as good at close range as the PK.

I disagree. Mastiff is too easy to hit the target, unlike PK. With PK you actually needed a bit skill, but PK was OP too.
The best with a full hit(all the pellets) should do no more than 70 damage.
Shootgun should be a finishing weapon, not like now, a game changer. Its rewarding the low tier player base that simply spam with it.
So many games i died to a Mastiff, where the enemy could not even land a shot on me with his AR/SMG, and he 2 shoot me with a Mastiff, like he is some kind of a god ...

  @LordloshBang The PK could be hip-fired, and it’s spread made it easy to deal large amounts of damage. (The star spread. If you get the person in there, you deal sizable damage.)
  The Mastiff has to be ADS, and because of it’s horizontal spread, you can really only get like 70-80 damage per shot, (unless it’s like point blank, but that would kind of be your fault. It you let the enemy get that close, you just got outplayed.)

    I can easily get 52 damage from a like 50 meter distance, which is crazy, because of its a shootgun.
    Plenty of people are using it at that distance to finish opponents off.
    70-80 damage its still too much, because you are not landing all of your shots, yet you get insane damage in exchange. And the damage its even more to LP. :D
    Being able to kill someone with 2 shots with a bad aim, shot not be allowed.
    With PK the chance to miss is greater, its spread its not as big as the mastiff.
    With mastiff even if you spam you still hit for 30-40+ damage.
    Eva8 for example has s***** range from anything less further than close range.
    Again shootgun should not be able to one shot you. At up close, Mastiff on the body is doing like 126 damage. It can 1 shoot you even with an Evo Shield ....
    
    Its the only weapon i currently hate and think its OP.
