This is a serious question for me, i'm a terrible shotgunner, i can never get the drop on people, i always miss my shots, i always shoot from too far away, i always get melted, i always suck with shotguns. Even if shotgunning never becomes my favourite thing to do, i would at least like to be able to do well while using one. Can anyone give me advice. EDIT: Wow, thanks for all the great tips everyone, i haven't had much chance to put everything into practice yet (especially sensitivity as i've only raised it to 6 as i usually play on 4) but in the few matches i have played i've been keeping everything you've all said in mind and it has resulted in an overall improvement of my abilities, i think in the few games i had i managed to get 1 10+ kill streak using strictly my shotgun (granted the enemy was pretty bad) but still that is improvement for me as before i struggled to get a 5 kill streak now i'm getting them a little more frequently. I'm hoping i'll be able to really put this information to use during the iron banner this week.
