DB-12 in desperate need of buffs.
I've achieved rank 30 with the DB-12 just now, and I've achieved 50 on 18 guns including a pistol or two. 2.6 K/D so not god's worst player and I really gotta say, the DB-12 is the most useless gun there is. Hands down. It is a three-shot kill with a two-round pump. The 80 damage 00 buck/75 damage slugs and horrid fall-of make it worthless outside of when I'm at true arm's-reach, then it's a two-shot *most of the time*. Add to this the fact I cannot seem to ever interrupt its woefully long reloading with either trying to fire or pressing R again, only wasting critical time by trying to quickly hit 2-1.
As it stands it is worse in all regards to all its contemporaries. The semi-auto M1014 with rounds-reload can one-shot, and the semi-auto mag-fed Saiga can just pump out shots to make up for it, even doing three to four shots to DB-12's two and a pump. The DB-12 can do neither and it is indefensibly worst gun in class and arguably worst gun in the game. Tube-fed yet can't one-shot, 80 damage but has to pump. Worthless.
Honestly, it has a 19-inch barrel, can we please give it some straight buffs? Increase the damage, grouping, and a more distance before damage deteriorates would be a nice start.
