The USMC and PLA shotguns are more or less identical...
As for the Jackhammer, I don't like it. It doesn't have the power of the pump action shotties, so you can't get one-shot kills. That means you have to rapid or auto fire, and the recoil on it is just crazy. Both
Recoil and
Base deviation added per shot are higher on the Jackhammer than on any other shotgun (and I believe any other weapon either). After that first shot, you're lucky to hit anything, really.
Pump shotgun is my first preference, just point and click for one-hit kills. Otherwise I like the MP7, if I'm gonna have to spray with my weapon, I want it to be as well-built for spraying as possible, thanks.
I wouldn't really count the DAO-12 in this discussion, since it's not an Engineer weapon, but it's clearly better than the non-pump shotguns.
You sir, obviously don't know how to use the Jackhammer
The pump-shotties suck b/c if you miss on your first shot, you're more or less dead meat, but with the Jackhammer, you can unload a full clip in just over a second, can't beat that!!
And i've hit PLENTY of people after the first shot, the recoil is about the same as the DOA (although i hardly ever use the DOA, it's too weak)
I can always get 2 kills per clip with the 'Hammer, but sometimes i can get 3, i once got 4, but that was pretty lucky
JACKHAMMER FTW! I will never use any other shotgun again
although some people just work better with the Pump ones, so i guess it's preference
