like i care the drawback off the militia shotgun is it needs more CPU/PG then the normal lvl 1 standard shotgun, has only 6 instead off 8 shells in terms off capacity and the reload time is 1 sec for each shell compared to 0.6 secs off the regular shotgun. All militia weapons do the exact same damage like standard weapons including AR, Snipers, swarm launchers etc. Now you want that a militia weapon to be complete useless. And why you complain about it so much? Its just a difference between like 12.000 SP from a militia shotgun to a standard shotgun. And i dont give a crap if its a militia shotgun or not. You just have to accept that certain weapons do a much better job in different situations. The laser rifle beats the AR on medium-long range, the shotgun beats it on close range, the HMG wins on close-medium range and the sniper beats you at a very long distance. Accept it that your AR does not shot sniper rifle ammo fully auto. And i think there should be a fully auto shotgun variant but with less damage delivered. Like 40%-50% less damage then the regular shotgun would do. And you want to handicap just a very small playerbase. At the moment the weapon usage ranking is like this:
1. Ar
2. Snipers
3. HMG
4. Shotgun
5. Mass driver
6. Laser rifle

AR's are way to easy to use and should get a nerf cause they have no recoil, are 100% accurate, deal moderate damage and are very cheap and easy to obtain. Hipfire is way to good on them while SMG's have a spread that is insane which in my opinion should be the exact other way around. SMG's=good hipfire cause they are ment to be close quarter kings just as shotguns. Just look at it allmost all proto weapons cost more then proto AR's. Look at laser rifles the proto variant costs over 80.000ISK while a duvolle costs only around 50.000ISK.
