Alright, for my next unlock I am strongly considering the Jackhammer... I know I know I'm like a long ways off from it, and I've yet to try engineering but... I just wanted to know people's opinions on it.
If you want my opinion, get the DAO-12, you can fire it faster then the jack hammer (other account has all but 2 unlocks), also you get the Anti-Tank rocket luncher, its a better combo in my opinion.
I've heard that it's a better scattergun then the DAO-12 because it’s fully automatic and quicker to reload then the DAO. If you’re going to pursue engineer I would unlock it. I am.
Thats true but when your at karkand in close quarters, you don't need further scatter when you pumpin out 12 shells in 3 seconds. But, if you pursuing engineer to get some extra points in game, more power to you.

Rizen_Ji is right on the DA0 on Karkand. I have gathered some stats with the DA0/tank killer thingy combo.
I have both shotguns. I use the DAO more. It fires faster, seems to have better "accuracy", the recoil isnt as bad, and you don't need to reload every second.
I play engineer alot and the jackhammer (in my opinion) is far superior to the pump action shotguns the USMC and PLA get. It is by far my most favorite gun to have when i run around a corner and bump into and enemy. At that range 7 FULL AUTO shotgun rounds TO THE FACE have yet to fail me.
The only downside I see with the jackhammer is long reload time in comparison with the rate it unloads its 7 rounds of pain. Sometimes you may want to consider using the weaker MEC shotgun in full blown firefights because it reloads faster making it nice to have in a firefight. However for surprise encounters against 1 or 2 enemies hiding around the corner I wouldn't have anything other than my jackhammer.

lol, i gotta say the jackhammer do be good for owning,
ever had someone prone underneath you while your bunnyhopping above them, reloading,
while they just flip around like a fish.
AND THEN BLAM!! BLAM!!BLAM!!BLAM!!BLAM!!BLAM!! BLAM!!
NO MORE FLIPPY FISH

a lot of people have been saying get the DAO cos its good on karkand, but remember there are other maps than karkand in the game. it fires fast on auto but if you learn to control it semi auto then its quite effective. i think its a good gun but you need to know how to use a pistol well if youre gona get it
The Jackhammer is totally worth it. I find it makes Engineers much more useful in combat. It's a must get if you plan on playing Engineer a lot.
its completely innaccurate to say the DAO fires "faster" than the jackhammer. This is the complete opposite in fact. I have no opinion on which is 'better' but the jackhammer can unload the entire clip in a little over 1 second, simply hold down the fire button.
i think ill be going the pkm, just to go off topic a little

Oh dude, I hate guys like u! Bunnyhopping is the best way to show, that ure a n00b!
I know from experience.. (in my opinion) the Jackhammer is 10x better that the DAO. just dont trow your ammo away on one man!! learn to use it..
oh! and a tip.. if you want to use a shotgun.. use the USMC standard shotgun on karkand (or other infantry maps) you wont regret it.. NO ONE (exept grenade launchers) bet it in CQC.

I don't know if it's just me,, but with the jackhammer when I shoot 2 rounds at a enemy, he dies later than it hits him.
So you shoot 3/4 rounds to make shure and than you can reload your weapon.
I like the DOA more

I've had one shot one kills using jackhammer... it's fast it's furious. A good CQC gun all round, you won't be disappointed
It's a pretty good weapon for the engineer, but it sometimes (at my computer) looks that when you shoot someone with 1 shot, he dies too late. (So you shoot more rounds while he is already dead).
I don't have this with the DAO.
Maybe it's just my PC or the server.

Jackhammer is cool when you are in front of your enemies, (if you get closer you can give him a head blow) cause it fire faster than the DOA, but watch your aiming, and the DAO is better when you are a little more "designated marksman" cause you can fire 12 rounds so you get one guy for sure before dying ...
I'll say that both guns are cool, only unlock the one which you'll play with the most

Use your next unlock on the kit you play the most. It sucks if you unlock a weapon you never will use. My first onlock was the PKM - nice weapon but I never play support.
The jackhammer has also a damage of 15x8, the Dao has only 12x8.
But nothing is better then the standard USMC (or chinese) shotgun with an devasting damage of 25x8.
Sometimes I killed two enemies standing in a row with only ONE shot... lolz

The Jackhammer was my first unlock. I really like it. However, instead of firing it full auto, I fire "semi-auto" by doing quick clicks of the fire button (basically the same way you fire the DAO). I find I use less rounds that way. If you just hold down the trigger, you can go through the entire clip in no time. You really have to be careful with either shotty unlock; if you run out of ammo, it takes a REALLY long time to reload.
eh,
I've been playing more engineer and using the jackhammer, I just let it rip away in close quarters and find that if I switch to my pistol when my clip ends I'm rarely in that much trouble because everything around me is either dead or wounded pretty bad. I know more people don't do this because they're afraid of their pistols, the most underrated weapons in the game. They are highly accurate and do enough damage for their fire rate to be really nice weapons.
