BF2S Forums Shotgun Reloading Fix

What you can do is take out your pistol for about a second then quickly switch back to the DAO, and it will look like the gun is reloading, but it isn't, and fire away.

I think the reason they have it like this with the DAO-12 is something to do with the way it is cocked - The weapon in the game has a winding key on the front of the cylinder which cocks the weapon by rotating the cylinder to the firing position. The system doesn't like having empty chambers in the cylinder so this is probably why you have to load the full thing before winding the mechanism and firing.

DICE have actually named the DAO-12 'Protecta' in the game files, this is it's actual name in real life (I guess they couldn't get permission to call it Protecta in game) The Protecta is actually an updated version of the gun we know as the DAO-12, which is actually a 'Striker'. The Striker is the original version of this weapon with the 'Protecta' being an updated version that uses a manually rotating cylinder which is cocked by pulling back the front handgrip.

The name DAO-12 comes from the term 'Double Action Only', this is a system similar to that used in revolvers. It also refers to the 12 gauge shells that the weapon fires (or possibly the 12" length of the barrel)

If you get a G5 from Logitech, you can program your scroll left/right for your main gun and something else.  I like medic so I use it for my machine gun and my paddles.
