BF2042 Shotguns need fixing

@FarystarLovesBF1 I was an air defence artilleryman in the Canadian military in the 90s, so yes. I’ve fired from .22 up to 35mm, including shotguns. Skeet and clay will shatter at a single pellet, a human is more than that. Even more if they have body armor on. 70 feet is a tremendous distance for buckshot, it’s a spray of .32 cal pellets fired in an ever expanding cone. Without a choke to constrain those pellets, you’re not going to get a kill shot at that range. We’re not talking RL anyway, it’s a video game where they have to restrict lots of real life performance to create some level of balance. They failed in a lot of instances. Should an SMG be accurate to over 200m? But explain that to the PP29. Should pistols be so accurate out past 25m? Not in normal circumstances anyways. Would a tank shell blow us all up if close by? Between kinetic and concussive force, plus shrapnel, then yes. It’s a video game so we don’t all die from that one tank shell. Find out what works and use that to your advantage. Also consider when you ask “have you ever”, it’s a public forum you’ll find that we all have a wide variety of experiences. Your question comes off as cocky and condescending and it’s not a good look man.
