the thing is that it hasnt been compensated not by even a single point of damage and range is nerfed fuckin much :>.

Yet all bullets follow the central path, making it hit a lot harder in 2238 than the original.
Izual:
But they shouldn't. Bullets should spread, turning Pancor Jackhammer into a real shotgun instead of a simple modified FN FAL. Spread of bullets + Knockdown ability will turn FOnline's shotguns into real shotguns.

So the knockdown chance should be increased for shotguns, like a critical chance? Otherwise one will be shot down multiple times, even before he could stand up and retaliate.
(Of course, if there's no teammates around to support him.)
Imagine that. A mere bluesuit shoots down a lone godlike lvl21 player to death with a shotgun. A horrific scenario :P
And a team of bluesuits will be able to keep a such poor powerbuild down until he dies, but that's not what we want, right?
Enough sarcasm from me. What i want to imply, that knockdown ability will support the teamplay of shotgunners. At the current time, even 5 bluesuits could pepper a minigunner PK with buckshots and be mowed down, since he stands there like a rock, smoking his superstimpacks. He even don't need to rely on his teammates. Truly godlike.
I'm done explaining, won't be implemented anyway, ah hell with it.

Well, if it worked the other way it would be a modified FN FAL, since they work like any other bursters. Going down the central channel is a shotgun only trait now. If it corresponds to real life or not it makes Shotguns low range but powerful, perfect for close combat in cramped conditions - what they should be.
