Apparently body armor makes you completely bulletproof and completely stops the impact of a bullet, let alone a dozen shotgun pellets hitting you in the torso/head.

Buckshot carries the same energy roughly as .38 special. You aren't penetrating shit. At close range the wad is going to do more damage against someone wearing armor. If shotguns were OP then they'd be used for more than clearing doors and launching bean bags.

Nice elaboration. The projectiles are roughly the same size, same weight, same density, same shape, and .38 special is flying maybe 200fps slower. For all intent and purposes relating to an FPS game, its the same ballistics. And neither is penetrating the armor you use in a videogame.

Its funny that you're actually serious at this point. We equip soldiers with rifles for a reason you fucking retard. Buckshot is not useful against armored enemies. Your 1 in 1,000,000 scenarios with impeccable shot placement are grand fantasy.

Because normal combat engagement range is like 500m irl whereas in video games it's more like 5m.

This might come as a shock to you but soldiers spend plenty of times invading town centers and even besieging buildings. In those scenarios, shotguns are still only seen when they're being used to open a door. Crazy stuff. If you're expecting shorter engagement ranges, you're just given a rifle with a shorter barrel.
>>
>>729442669
Well if you have light armor and someone’s shooting you with shotty for balance reasons it should really only tickle otherwise every would just use a shot gun cause you don’t have to be accurate and it’s king of mid and short range

We're not talking about soldiers with rifles who fight at 500m engagements. I was asking you a basic question about physics. Do you think kinetic energy doesn't penetrate armor? Do you not know how bells work?
>>Bro just graze his unprotected thigh with your double ought buck to nick him in the artery!
You're making up things that aren't in the post because you don't have any coherent points. Just because the shot itself doesn't penetrate your skin doesn't mean the kinetic energy just stops, that force is still moving through you and can still cause grave bodily harm. Houdini was killed by getting punched in the chest, do you think that meant the guy who did it physically reached through his ribcage too?

Considering shooting a gun doesn't knock you on your ass, I would hope your grade school level understanding of physics would cause you to realize that they don't impart that much force. Yeah, the concussive force from some double ought buck might rock your bell pretty hard. So might a right hook. Or a punch to your sternum, like you said.

They do if you don't consciously brace yourself for the recoil, yes. Which any amateur with basic firearms training will do, but you still need to actually do it.

>>729446000
Its the equivalent force to a mild shove. That's why its almost always women, children, and <5'7 manlets in these comical shotgun recoil gifs. Weird African elephant guns notwithstanding.
>>
>>729442669
I think Rising Storm 2 handled things perfectly. They're in perfect form, having all their damage and ranged unleashed to their full potential, and as such they're pretty strong, but they're not unbeatable because just like in real life, automatics are just way more generally useful and can hold sustained fire.
>>
>>729442870
Well, the counter point to that is body armor.
Shoguns are notoriously bad against kevlar and plates due to the fact that buckshot is rounded balls that are made to distribute the force over a larger area to cause maximum stopping power and damage to the target. However, this means that it can be stopped by bullet proof vests and plates.
Frankly, I do not know how a slug would operate given that it is one solid piece of metal, and I am sure that even if you had a bullet proof fest a near pointblank shotgun blast would still probably not be good for your health.

I think you could balance shotguns in a tactical game where armor/plates are relevant.
>>
>>729443350
I agree you shouldn't one shot them, but even if you're wearing a plat carrier I think a solid shotgun shot to the chest is probably gonna stun you enough that they can get off more shots, and if you sincerely believe you're gonna survive just getting sprayed then it is silly.
Really though, the benefit would be if a shotgun user and an AR user fired at the same time, the AR user would probably survive (given the buckshot doesn't randomly ricochet off a plate into his neck or some shit) and the shotgun user would probably be dead.
>>
>>729446341
And the way it is now in 99% of games, even "muh reelism" ones, is that the shotgun player gets the kill. So I don't see the complaint. When you shoot someone at range and they don't get one shot but their aim gets punched or their movement gets tagged or whatever other mechanic your favorite shooter game utilizes, thats your "concussive force" from tanking the round. Not to mention they still lost HP.

Nothing. He could smell the Youtube landscape changing for the worse and bailed before the joke was ruined. He knew when to stop, and that's as important as something happening to begin with. Unlike iDubbz, Joji and Filthy Frank will always be remembered fondly.

Prometheus tried to become a YouTuber and it just didn't work out so he resumed normalfaggotry.

So, what you're describing is that much of the force is expelled out of the gun in the form of gas. Most firearms have slots designed to let gas escape out of the barrel, this means that the force is more evenly distributed across the firearm. There is still some, of course, and that is the recoil that you brace yourself against.
>>
>>729458908
actually the gas eacaping is for either 1 of 3 reasons.

1.) to push a piston in a semi-auto that will push thd bolt back and reload from the magazine

2.) force gasses up to compensate for muzzle climb by providing down-pressure

3.) to hide/obscure the muzzle flash
