(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Since im 10th Prestige I thought il get myself some gold guns, an fancied a challenge so I thought I would go for the Model 1887.
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:

Funny how they completely made everything extremely UNDER POWERED in mw3.. which was previously over powered in mw2.

They need to fire their gun balancing team.. they are stupid idiots who think because the previous game has OP guns.. we`ll make the OP guns we previously had.. and make them fire plastic bullets this time round :dumb:

COD fails @ balancing anything.

I've picked them up off the ground in desperation when out of ammo and they are terrible from more than a few feet away, without a doubt the worst gun I have used in this game.

gold 1887 would look sexy lol. The models are ****ing inconsistent so sometimes you'll get 2-3 hitmarkers on someone right beside you and other times you'll one shot the guy. No way to tell.

The main strategy to cope with its shitiness is to just try and flank and never meet the enemy head on i guess... but that's pretty obvious considering you can't win a one on one gun fight with this shit against the 95% of assault rifle players.

Woww. I finally got the Model gold and boy was it so frustrating. I started at around 6:30 on level 30 and about 1100 hitmarkers and 500 kills later (@ 8:00), I got it to level 31. God that was one of the hardest things I've had to do, & the only good thing for me is it did rise my accuracy a bit to 24.28% (and my KD rose by 0.01 Eek) cause I probably won't be using that gun at all anymore now that it's at 31 and I have all my shotguns finally gold. Now time to just enjoy the good shotguns (AA-12, USAS, & KSG)

I just got damage on mine today, and I'm surprised at how bad it is (probably because it doesn't have extended mags). Even with damage, I'm stilling getting hitmarkers most of the time. I prefer all of the other shotguns with damage to the 1887, except for the AA12 which I haven't gotten damage on yet.

The accuracy boost is one thing I like about using shotguns. I nearly always have the highest accuracy in most lobbies.

Ya man I'm telling you, Damage does crap on the Model 1887. You'll be lucky if it only takes 1 less hitmarker because of it, but most of the time it doesn't (it takes multiple hitmarkers about 40-50%). & yes, it's most likely because of the non-extended mags. The AA-12 with damage is very very good. I'd say it's the best shotgun (in short range battle) out of all of them. Especially if you know how to drop shot. It's awesome. Soo much better then the Model. Ya the accuracy is an awesome part. I played for about a few weeks trying to get my account to level 80 before I started doing my shotgun stuff and my accuracy was set at about 13% (I know it's very low). But after I started getting all my shotguns to 31, it went up slowly and slowly to 24%, and still rising.
