Boo the "1887"

Was it Infinity Wards intention to put a weapon in the game that is a one shot kill from anywhere on the map? I am quite fed up with jackarses running around blasting everyone with those damn akimbo shotties. They outrange a AR and have the power of a shotgun at any range. What were they thinking. now we have a bunch of morons who refuse to presitge because they would have to use a different weapon. BOOOOOOO

I dont think theres anything worng with the power of the weapon, its a freaking shotgun, but the range is outrageous, and as far as I know there are fixing it.

That is the dumbest thing ever and I think they should be removed completely . . .
It's "Modern Warfare" not the Civil War . . .
But I don't use them, just like I don't use thermal scopes(totally inacurate to real life), or the heartbeat sensor

They are getting nerfed next week...idk why, shotguns in real life have further range than that, people dont understand that i guess.
Shotguns in real life don't have further range than a rifle. Sorry.
It was just another noob tactic for people who lacked the skills to get kills other ways.

I agree with whoever said they should be removed completely. Don't want to scroll up and quote it on my phone.
On another note, if you use a shotgun with a slug (best for deer hunting) the range capable is ridiculous. But considering they're old shotties and you can akimbo them is just stupid.

I dont think they should be removed or fixed at all...i mean cmon...its a Winchester dudes! They are highly accurate and powerful shotguns. People need to adapt a strategy for them and quit being noobs.

I think that you should only be able to akimbo handguns and smaller smgs. Anything bigger would just get too hard to reload and carry. As of right now you might as well be able to akimbo lmgs.

Just because they are lever action dosent mean there from the "civil war." Is that what you think about bolt action too.

UM? Model 1887 as in the year 1887 weapons derived from the civil war which ran from 1861 to 1865 . . .
Beside i have killed my share of model users, nothing more dumb than hiding in a corner with akimbo shotguns sticking out three feet . . .

And on another note there's no way those shotguns should one shot kill when the Barrett doesn't even do that anymore talk about inacurate power?
Have you ever seen what a Barrett 50cal sniper rifle does in real life it doesn't even half to hit a target just pass it an the target is road kill . . .
Look at this video, I know it says "Shooting Stuff" but those are people . . .
Warning kinda graphic
