The USAS 12 was just mind breaking, no shotgun had such a one shot capability in range, put on Dmg or Range and this thing can hold his stand against the Striker with ease with a good aim.

[@bensmith5089]

Usas 12 is one of the better shotguns on mw3 also the trench gun on WAW is a consistent one hit as long as you don’t ADS( I know it doesn’t make sense but it’s an old game) plus why would you want to ads with a shotgun anyway unless it’s slug

[@johnrodriguez1797]

Exactly also the USAS 12 was semi auto not full auto

[@Predalien195]

@@johnrodriguez1797 No, it was full auto. You can hold the trigger and it keeps shooting. It's just a really slow fire rate one can shoot it like a semi auto and can't tell much a difference between that and auto. I used to use it religiously, I'd use it like a semi auto for single targets but hold the trigger on groups as it would just cut through them anyways. But one other thing... You could actually sprint longer with the USAS 12 than any other shotgun in the game. Even without Extreme Conditioning. Which funnily enough Extreme Conditioning actually nerfed it on the USAS-12 giving it no advantage with the perk but having one without.

They nerfed the range early on. But left it alone after that and with the barrel it was an animal. Still tho, most guns in that game were more than viable and anyone could compete with you if they knew how. Shotguns, especially pump shotguns, need to be fast, hit hard, and have fair but not ridiculous range. Anything less and they just become boring and non-competitive. I really love pump shotgun play style so I’m a bit partial.

[@walterbradley7599]

I'm very satisfied seeing the R870 MCS in the top 5. Always ran that shotty even on the bigger maps with a long barrel because it was just that good.

[@MFD-]

Long barrel and a laser sight on the Remington made that shotty a badass gun with good range and awesome hip fire 🥴🤟🏻
