Autoshotgun or Combat Shotgun (SPAS)

[Nesster]

I mostly use shotguns but I don't know which autoshotgun is better. Is the SPAS better or the regular autoshotgun?

[England is not a real country]

I think the only difference between them is that one probably has a tigher spread compared to the other.

And might as well fire faster? I don´t know they pretty much behave the same... 1 to 1.

Both the Combat Shotgun and Tactical Shotgun deal just over 250 damage per shell.
The Combat Shotgun features 9 pellets per shell with each pellet dealing 28 damage. It has a slightly tighter spread than the Tactical Shotgun, affording each pellet a greater chance of hitting the intended target or targets, as well as increasing the distance at which the weapon is still effective.
The Tactical Shotgun features 11 pellets per shell with each pellet dealing 23 damage. It has a wider spread than the Combat Shotgun, granting increased breadth of fire for less tightly knit groups of Infected, but suffers at mid-range or beyond.

spas is the chrome of autos, but both autos are so powerful it doesn't really matter.

spas is more accurate but has less pellets

if you are in a corridor constantly or funnel commons to a door the autoshotgun is better

if you need to kill specials at a medium distance or need to headshot the spas is better

the T1 shotguns mimic this too, one is like the spas and the other is like the autoshotgun

the discrepancy between pump and chrome is huge, while spas vs combat is just about the same.

Spas is better without a doubt but I still prefer m1014

[geordiebroon58]

basically identical in stats, spas tiny bit better at range while the auto is a bit better at crowd control

guess the m1014 is slightly better for crowning the witch if you are bad with aim? but thats about all you are gonna get

Why it doesnt state that the spas has a continuous reload slighty faster than m1014?

I just pick any of them, if my sniper or rifle is running out of ammo. If it's about the shot sound, I prefer autoshotgun though, as it sounds louder & more powerful than spas

[clover <3]

they are pretty much the exact same but spas cuz its more iconic and feels better :3
