The base model of the 1897 dmg at anything but 2 feet infront of you is absolute garbage. Headshot at like 3 meters doesnt kill, 4 shots to the chest at 3 meters to kill. ---

I’m inclined to think it’s a user problem not a gun problem Care to put up proof of the matter with netgraph so we know the full story? ---

I actually did pretty well with it, even without perks. I can’t afford them, because there is this world wide CC crisis going on. ---

Base model, not talking about specializations yet. Its painfully obvious, the dmg drop off over range and pellet spread is ridiculous on the base model. ---

Bah I was hoping this was going to be a nerf thread ☹ I like me some shotgun action but sounds like the 1897 isn’t the one. ---

Going to disagree, leveled it up to lvl 4 in almost a match. 1 shot kills everything at 5 meters radious without upgrades and can be upgraded to get more range, faster reloads, faster rof and penetraring pellets to kill multiple targets at once. Its an upgrade to the automatic shotgun, in the right hands. I forgot, you can also upgrade it to slugs and get the advantage on larger and open maps.
