  Weapons are balanced around average players I guess. Have a good player learn the M14, same result.

  Kills with MCS 870 47
  MCS 870 Shots Fired 115
  MCS 870 Shots Hit 198
  
  172% accuracy with a gun is insane. If you divide total hits by shots fired. I think it was too weak before, but I think it is too powerful now. I think we need to tone it down a bit but not like before.
  
  

  Pie charts + Graphs= Very Bad.

  Each shotgun shot is eight pellets. Thus your 115 shots represents 920 pellets. With 198 hits you have a 21.5% hit rate. Not what I would call insane.
  
  Keep in mind the shotgun 1) deals no extra damage for a head shot 2) has no penetration value and 3) has a brutal damage drop-off over range. It quite good to a point but is not as versatile as other weapons.

  I used to use it a LOT.. Even posted my feelings of the gun in its own topic, for what my opinions worth I don't think it's OP, unless your up close and personal.. with a side order of luck it certainly can 'SEEM' a bit OP.
  
  Please do post a video Colts, good players are good to watch (not so good to play against lol)

  If my trollery drives you crazy, you'd better put on your seatbelt.

  I have to install shadow play I was pissing some people off though lol. I am getting a lot of 1 shot kills at distances like from up and over to desk infront dark room. (zooming in of course). I think what I may also do is create a shotgun only account see how it goes. Would be nice to be able to see weapon stats like my KDR with a specific weapon. So if i get a kill with a weapon we already know that but what we don't know is if I died using the weapon or not. In order to actually figure out your kdr per weapon basis. Because I swear my shotgun numbers would be like 47-8 or so. Would also help with figuring out which weapon you seem to be best with.

  I once got someone standing in the main doors of garden from the lobby desk, haha.. I would never dare call that skill as I know it to be pure luck and was probably already a low health target
  
  Do you find that some of the times you don't get the kill after hitting (from various ranges).. but feel that you should have?

  I think the kills with the shotgun at a distance is what is OP. Something like @-colts.iog- described might be a bit much to get a 1 shot kill from up-and-over to lobby-desk but that also depends on the enemy's health.
  
  I think the distance should be tweaked down a bit. But just a little.
  
  IMO

  IMO I think the range/damage should increase because people rarely use the shotty since it's the least effective weapon.

  I don't think it's overpowered. But man is it a stress reliever after a long day dealing with the mother in law.
