Its kind of like the one line from the movie Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World, the guy had a very powerful tranquilizer gun, and he said "don't shoot yourself in the foot, you'll be dead before you realized you had an accident..."

People think its not fair for something to kill them instantly, because there is no defense to it. People get mad at Forge Guns, Thale's, etc... But what they forget to realize is that they were dead before their opponent ever shot them. Because FPS is all about POSITION!

A guy using a shotgun has to work his butt off in order to get within killing range. If they get near you, then you're punishment is dying, because they out maneuvered you. You were out played, maybe you weren't out gunned, but they still out played you.

However, in DUST, the Shotgun is not a weapon that anyone should take seriously, so this whole thread is moot. . .

Someone has some competitive experience.

Best piece of advice I ever got for BF3.

"BF3 is really only 25% gun game. It's mostly a game of angles in all honesty. Think of it this way. No matter how good of a shot you are, it's hard to kill someone when they are perpendicular to you when the firefight starts. The flank is dangerous for a reason, you can be killed before you can react."

The usual reply I get, is that they can kill in one hit. Raffle draw will be in 2-3 days Save General John Ripper!

Now when playing objective game modes it's not so frowned upon.
