Double Barrel Shotgun vs. Trench

Which do you prefer? The double barrel shotgun, or the trench gun. Both have their pros and cons. I prefer the double barrel in multiplayer, and the trench gun for zombies. This poll is based on which you prefer in MULTIPLAYER.

+1 for Double Barrel

I like both of them but if I had to choose, I'd go for the Trenchgun. I just feel 'safer' with that shotgun, knowing I've got alot more bullets on standby in case I get ambushed. The Double Barrel shotgun does sound sweet though.

For the sake of the poll, I chose the Trenchgun. As I use that more than the Double Barrel.

The Double Barrel are for more tactical people. Or people who don't plan to run straight in. For more defensive players I think. The Trench Gun is good for those situations when you need to kill, and you need to do it fast.

I personally hate shotguns and i voted for their both bad, mainly cause i hate shotguns but if i had to vote for one it would be the trenchgun.

Most people would agree with you Deadly. Shotguns have terrible range, and take too much time to get used to for most people. But, you will find that if you're patient, and practice using a certain shotgun, you will develop a liking to it.

One of the only maps I would actually use a shotgun on is Dome, and Asylum. All the other maps are too large and packed full of snipers. It's do-able but I feel too vulnerable out in the open with nothing more than a shotgun (especially when I can spit further than they can shoot).

If you're good with a shotty, you'll be able to rank up quite quickly on Dome. Always alot of action, tonnes of people running at you, and highly unlikely that you'll come across a sniper.

If we're talking about the Trench Gun, then I agree. If we're talking about the Double Barrel, then I greatly disagree. The Double Barrel is not good in situations when there is more than one enemy after you, unless you use the double tap perk.

Yep, should have mentioned that. Definitely the Trenchgun, would get slaughtered on Dome with the Double Barrel.

Have you ever attempted to use the Double Barrel Shotgun "sawed off"?

Yeah I've tried it once before. Didn't really like it because the range gets even sh*ttier than it already is, but the damage increases by 5 which is good.

The range on the 'sawed off' version of the Double Barrel shotgun is identical to the range of the Trenchgun, except the Double Barrel obviously gives more damage (45 compared to 30).

I can't stand the Double Barrel on Zombie Mode, it's okay in the first few stages but absolutely sucks when you get a raft of zombies at the windows. I cringe whenever I pull it out of the random weapon box.
