Really? when I got range I saw a little difference, but I really never saw any difference when I got damage. I still have to be at least 6 feet to them for me to get the 3 hit markers before killing anyone.
I'm not saying the AA-12 is a bad gun, just that ANY gun within it's effective range can do just as well by just hip firing, probably take less bullets to kill too.
I agree about "Range". The AA-12 has such a pathetic range that it'll never be good at distance. So i just use damage to make it EVEN more potent at point blank. Add extended mags and you go from one or maybe two kills at an absolute stretch per mag to a guarenteed two and often three. For me it isnt about how many shots land for a kill, its about how quickly it kills at point blank and how many kills will come out of a mag. The AA-12 with damage kills very very quickly up close, it can take out FMG guys and knifers better than some much more varied and capable guns. Thats why i like it.
quoteAnd I'm not 'bad' with the AA-12, just I could do just as well if I was just using a throwing knife and a USP w/tac knife, maybe even better.
Aw definately agree. I done just as well with akimbo magnums, a masterkey or other fun weapons. Its definately in that "having a laugh" category when you arnt playing perticularly seriously. I'd always switch it out for something more practical (USAS, M14, P90) if i were playing seriously or if the opposition got tough. Still i have had some surprisingly positive lucky results even against decent players.
