the shotgun is going to get as good as it can basically. maybe 1-3 points give or take on each setting. but seriously, its a fun weapon for the spas'er to use, and the other opponent has fun trying to counter it.

No gun in Soldat is even close to their IRL representative. Why should we sacrifice balance and gameplay to safisfy yank gun-nuts and CS bums?

go join realistic for that :)

If all the guns were like there irl representative, we would most likely all be using barrets.

dont get me wrong, i wasnt suggesting the knockback be trashed. I was just SAYING IRL thats how it works. I was showing people how many things truly are unrealistic and it would be stupid if we changed them all.
Your acting like your having a duel and your opponent gets a pistol and you get a spork.
Isn't that pretty much what it is? I dunno wtf a spork is, I suppose it's way weaker than the pistol since you compared that to this.

I am still waiting for a phased plasma rifle in the 40-watt range.

Not at all. If you shoot someone in front of you who's moving in the same direction, they often get a large boost in speed. And if you fire behind you it gives you a half decent boost too. No weapon mods needed for that.

Spas is quite good as it is now, except two things:
1) Too much recoil
2) Shots dont get registered too much times, and pisses me off

1 is why I use the SPAS. For those who complain about it, not every aspect of this game focuses on real life. It's not even a true shooter, IMO, more of a "modern" arcade game.

2 probably affects many other weapons as well.

I'm with Vig'. Don't change the SPAS at all. It's perfect the way it is, like the Ruger; both are obscure and not many use them but they're both powerful and unique in their own ways.

And the spas pellets have such of a big radius that it is kind of a easy task to hit

Big radius. AKA less bullets hit = less dmg. Personally I reckon spaz is underpowered.

its not meant for long range. Real Spasers like myself and i few others (you know who u are) know that u have to use your environment to suit ur weapon. I for one would take a more close courters route to the flag rater than go across the wide open field.. BTW the spas = perfectly balanced

Spas-12 is the perfect kampf weapon. I myself have even played well with spas on run(secondary being law). The only fault of the spas is that you need either a law or soccom as a secondary, because when you try and kill the EFC with your spas, you.ll find you're pushing him, instead of killing him.

true, but if hes weakened it doesnt matter. But yes, the Law compliments the spas perfectly IMO (BTW the LAW is definately worth getting good/decent with)

I, personally, find that the spas is very effective on Run. My route of choice is usually the top, and having spent a fair amount of time practicing moving across the polygons, jumping at certain places, backflipping at certain places, which allows me to catch up with the flagger, as long as he's not much more than 1 screen away, I'm able to jet up and shoot him from higher up, so he doesn't get a real boost. Of course, if they could move like I do, I'd be boned.

I also use the knife 90% of the time, or more, but I find the socom more effective than the LAW, as I don't like to stop when I'm chasing the flagger... if I miss, it's over.

I agree with Viggy here, the spas 12 is implemented flawlessly in my eyes.

... if I miss, it's over.

Then don't miss ;]. Lol, but iget what ur saying. Its kinda tough to get crouched before he is outa the screen, but when u do get those shots that catch up with the EFC right when he hits the edge....its magic
