The Trench Gun - Do You Like It?

[SoulSniper]

Update 11 introduced the Winchester 1897 trench gun and I'm curious to hear what you all think of it. I did a quick video review including my thoughts on it but I'm curious if the community feels the same way I do about it. What's your take on it?

Yea...kinda my thoughts as well. Sorta fun to mess people up close range until you realize how few times per match you're within the shotguns effective range. Then it feels like a paper weight.

On the reload on empty he cxcks after the first shell is loaded - so it's correct on the reloading aspect

I like it when i hunt enemy Recon Squads, sneak behind them and shoot them danger close with it. I think a few Players might have gotten a Heart attack from me already.

As someone who plays recon a fair amount, that's funny to imagine lol.

FG42 > all

[mickeyporkpies]

if you creep up behind someone and put it to the head you may kill them other than that waste of time

How do you even use that thing with the sights being broken?

I don't know, i didn't try it. I don't see the point to use a shotgun outside a building, even in the street of carentan. I don't really understand why they put this weapon in this game. And you can't switch to a secondary weapon like a rifle, so i don't see why people would want to take a shotgun knowing than they don't have something else to defend themselves at midrange and further.

Don't believe everything the internet tells you. The sights are not broken, dispite what even the developer is telling you. They are zeroed to about 250m which gives you a 6 o'clock hold for everything up to that point and actualy makes the sights damn great. at 50 to 100m just aim at waist level and you get a guaranted hit. BM still hasnt added a fuction to zero sights but like this, up to 250m your line of sight wont be blocked by your own front sight post which can be a pain in the ass.

It's pretty fun in the correct environnement. (Carentan for example)

Fought in forest on red ball map.
Its a beast!

[SoulSniper]

Kind of a mixed bag of opinions it seems. But I feel like it's hard to argue that it's not very versatile...

Be nice if crewmen could have it.

Hell nah. Imagine crewman jumping out while placing a Satchel (which dont even guaranteed kill a Tank if placed on tracks) and getting a pump load in the face. No no no
