The Extended Mags glitch for Modern Warfare 3 is likely to be nerfed soon.

For those of you who do not know what the Extended Mag glitch is, it is a glitch which occurs when you add Extended Mags to a shotgun, a normal shotgun shoots 8 pellets from one round however with the Extended Mags perk,12 pellets get shot out, this increases the damage done and can make some shotguns over powered.

It was recently confirmed that this glitch will be addressed thanks to Creative Strategist at Infinity Ward on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Robert Bowling.

1.) Shotguns can't be overpowered. They're shotguns. They should be a one-hit kill at short range every single time. Sometimes even at medium range.

2.) Shotguns shoot 6 pellets and they fire i think 10 with extended mags.

Extended mags makes shotguns constant. Without it or damage alot of them are crap
Apart from the striker cos you can spam it.

IF you need to add something to a gun to improve it. That is unbalanced.....and should be fixed.
HOPE they plan on buffing it because right now the high damage vs not constant shotguns at close range means why use them.
Hell alot of people ain't going to grind something just to improve it.

I still don't know how this glitch even got pass play testing :/
It like they never used shotguns in this game.

Hell are strong shotguns that bad ?
In order to use a shotgun you need a certain playstyle and 90% of people who play don't have that.

Bring back MW2 style shotguns if we are going to keep this high damage model. With the stupid map design.

It still nerfing them by removing something which improves them.
Glitch is only good as it makes them constant.

Wonder if IW going to fix the USAS 12 bug too or skop bug

Depending on what shotgun, it shoots 6 or 8 pellets. With extended mags, (Again, depending on what shotgun) it shoots either 9 or 12 pellets, a 50% increase. Shotguns aren't overpowered at all... IMO. They should focus on removing Final Stand and Dead Man's Hand rather than fix this shotgun glitch.
