What a mistake !!
It must have the lowest damage out of all the shotguns, and the slowest recock time ever. Most of the time il get a hit marker and then they will just kill me, even from a couple feet it can't kill. I've beaded through it and currently have it at rank 13 but I really cannot be ****ed to wait until 28 to unlock damage proficiency to see if it actually makes a difference.
The gun literally has me screaming st my TV it is so crap.
Has anyone else tried using it and have suffered the same pain I am got through? :fa:

I actually like the model 1887. Here is the class I use,
Primary: Any primary(see below)
Secondary: Model 1887 with kick and extended magsAny primary(see below)
Lethal: Semtex
Tactical: Up to you, but I use radar since I am always on the move
Perk 1: Sleight of Hand
Perk 2: Over Kill
Perk 3: Steady Aim
Strike Package(personal preference): Specialist
Death Streak: Juiced
When you use this class use your primary for at distance enemies and model for the close range combat. If you have good finger coordination, you can drop shot while using the Model 1887(despite it not being full auto) and get kills easier. Even if you get a hit marker the first time, you may get enough time to re-pump and get a finishing shot off.
Personally: I like it better for FFA since you really do not run into clobs of enemies at a time.

my opinion is this , shottys are controversial and have always been. Im going from W@W-MW3 , The trench gun got some positive and negative reviews , it did need some more power to it . Then we go to the mw2 era , where as ironic as it seems the worst shotty was the striker(models after like 4 patches). On top of that we had them as secondary , which is a bit of an argument. Dont forget , the spas had ALOT of range , the AA12 were immortal at close range , and if you slap on certain attachment(s) you get even more bang for your buck . Then we get the BOs era , where shottys where we had the trench gun reality with the olympia , and the steakout . The spas was decent , and nothing to crazy . Then we are at todays game . Hence where my opinion of controversy comes from . Although in cod4 i like the W1200 and the m10 , some did not like it .

Stop being a girl they are fine
It balanced right ?
Lolz trollface etc etc etc
Model 1887 , KSG 12 made me want to sodomy bowling whole family and cat.
Pre patch the model was welll had issues. Stat wise looks pretty good but not sure if the netcode or what something is wrong with it.
KSG 12 pre patch put it this way it was a race which one is worse model or KSG 12.
Getting gold on the model and KSG 12 for me was painful.
500 kills for damage and 850 gold shotguns
Gold model is 1000
I can tell you now that the model was alot worse......along with the KSG 12.
Model and KSG 12 dropped my k.d by quite alot getting them gold.
I have all shotguns gold lol it all i use pretty much

I'm a shotgunner, so of course once I hit 10th went on the path to get all of them gold. Previously to that I had only used the striker from 1st-10th prestige (got 22k kills and 2k headshots with it), although, I would never spray it which is why it was such a hated gun.
The first gun I got gold after the Striker was the Model. And it was a pain. Once you get damage on it it becomes slightly more bearable, but before then I would have to resort to dropshotting to be able to get a cock in before the other person shot me. Even then I'ld only survive 50% of the time if the first shot hitmarkered... of course then theres the times when you would get 2-3 hitmarkers in a row -.-
You probably need aproximately 500 kills with the gun to get damage on it, I'ld say go for it. It is a good challenge and once you get damage its a good pump-action shotgun which is, IMO fun to use. From there getting the other few hundred kills to get it gold is a breeze. One of the main problems with the model is the lack of attachments, which made it all the more harder to level up, but I say you should stick at it
However, out of all the shotguns, I *personally* found the KSG-12 hardest to get gold, I just found it got a lot more hitmarkers than the model or spaz and was a pain to use. Now I have them all gold though, so going for 2500 kills with them all
Keep in mind, those were my experiences before the shotgun buff/nerf which happened yesterday, I haven't tried them out with their adjustments yet :/

KSG 12 and model made me want to kill many things lol
KSG 12 as you put it the hardest to level up easy before patch.
When you use a shotgun you understand how bad MW3 netcode is.

Yep I'm a Shotgun user as well and I have at least 1000 kills/ gold for every shotgun... except the Model 1887 which is sitting at level 30. And boy was it a pain in the ASS to get it there. The other shotguns are actually pretty good after all the upgrades, but the Model still remains the worst shotgun even with damage. I still get hitmarkers about 30-50% of the time unless I hit the guy in a perfect spot at the right distance. I'm still gonna gut it out and get it to 31 and all, but I totally agree with your on the damage just being annoyingly low for the highest level shotgun. Hopefully the update greatly increases the power to at least what the SPAS is right now.
