M1014 severely underpowered?

[dm.mossberg590a1]

Meh short shotguns are mostly gimmicks they have so much recoil they can break your hand. A balanced shotgun would be a pump action shotgun like the Remington 870P or Mossberg 590a1 with extremely high recoil but devastating power through range. The recoil would physically push you back like the Barrett and you will be way off target when aiming. You would have to aim with the shotgun and hip fire would be like hip firing a Barrett (you won't hit anything). That will solve the bot problem, they never use iron sights. The problem is that the rate of fire on the M1014 is so high and the recoil is so low that the devs try to balance it by making it weak.

I would rather have a very powerful high recoil shotgun than a low recoil weak shotgun. You won't be reloading so much with the slow rate of the pump and the one shot kill ability. Also with the bead sight you can aim extremely quickly compared to ghost ring or rifle sights. If the devs reduce the spread and increase the power for the M1014, then the M1014s will be too powerful (you could snipe people by hip-firing with the red dot aiming thing) and the bots with the shotgun would be nearly invincible.

Either way, the current shotgun is unacceptable... something has to change.
