Ive been experimenting with the shotgun. Ive tried both with various combinations. Now, i wont be the first 1 to tell u it takes practice to get used to. But come on. I seriously cant get it down. Im not sure if the perks im using are causing me not to get my full effect.

Is it better to use juggernaut? Becuz other weapons have a quicker kill if ur not close enuff. Or should I use stopping power for a more damaging effect. Or possibly sleight of hand?

How about the 3rd perk. Should I used steady aim? in order to be more accurate. Or should I use deep penetration? in order to get more effect. Or extreme conditioning for better rushing?

I know the shotgun is already powerful.

And after u help mr with perks, which shotty would u recemmend out of the 2?

Any tips would be very helpful. Ill be happy to help ur rep if u giv me good enuff pointers.

Cheers,
Syndrome-X

I'm not much of a shotgun guy, but I like the W1200 more, cause more bullets, and not much slower then the automatic.

As for perks, I use RDS, 3xfrag, stopping power, and steady aim.

Changing them up to Grip, bandolier, sleight of hand, and extreme conditioning may be better for some people, or mix and match each of them (3xfrag, sleight of hand, and steady aim for instance).

I don't use bandolier as I am never alive long enough to need it, but I pretty much just use the shotgun on shipment. Since it's such a small level it's easy to get the kills. I can get about 2/3 - 3/4 of the kill challenge done in each match with the shotgun (I know, other people can get more but this is me talking ). Plus you get a good chance to try it out a lot...

Hey syndrome-
My thoughts for shotguns are that you need to use the W1200 w/ red dot or none

Three Frags (long range kills)
Stopping Power( automatic 1 hit kill)
Extreme conditioning(for running around)

tips: Always be moving (dancing) when you get into a gun battle and make sure you hit the guy with the first shot. you can take your time because its going to be a 1 hit kill. Also never use stedy aim because when you shot the shotgun the bullets(shot) spread out natually and using steady concentrates the bullets but makes it less accurate in the process.

I won't use a shotgun without steady aim. Set up a class with and without it and shoot a wall from the same distance, you'll see why!

On CoD5 now...

I use either shotgun with Grip, UAV Jammer, and Extreme Conditioning

I don't believe I'm the first one to suggest Juggernaut... For me that's a given when using a shotgun. Especially with the W1200, which rarely ever will let your opponent live through the first shot. For the M1014, Stopping Power might be viable, personally, I still get enough one-shots so I stick to the extra health.
Perk 1 doesn't matter all that much, I like Frag x 3 since these act (in a way) as a means to take out distant opponents without having to approach them first.
Perk 3, I use Martyrdom. Despite how many people will scoff at it, if I close in all the time anyway, I might as well drag 'em down with me in case I get killed. Doesn't work too often for me though... Steady Aim might help, but I'd rather take Extreme Conditioning over it.
Oh yeah, on a side note, the Smoke Grenade is sexy with shotguns.

same here, that is probably the best way to use a shotgun, besides sleight of hand.
