What needs more skill in PVP!? Sniper or Shotgun?
Just curious to see what majority of the forum users believe takes more skill. I am not talking about any other game, so please don't compare to anything else (BO3, Halo, etc)
Feel free to express your opinion why sniping/shotgun take more skill.
Happy trials folks!
**Btw if yall could bump or like the post so more people get to see it* would be greatly appreciated!**

Edit: Thanks for everyone's input! As many have said it really takes no skill for either weapon if your are just camping a lane/door**
Snipers:
The weapon aims for you
ADS stability on par with shooting a weapon while prone with a tripod.
Accurate under fire.
Shotgun:
Requires you to be close enough to spit on your opponent to kill.
Requires a tactical mindset combining the elements of cover & maneuver to close within kill range without getting gunned down.
Tl;dr To be successful with a sniper you need average reaction time for the trigger pull (That's it!). To be successful with a shotgun you need situational awareness, good use of cover, and some balls.
Edit: Sorry for stealing all your comments OP!!
Edit 2: The salt is strong
Edit 3: Had fun pooping on you 1000 yard stare punks yesterday on Anomaly & will resume washing my rear with your tears in a few hours.
Edit 4: Slapped on a sniper Tao Hua Yuan (Wildhawk SLS20/Aim Assist 11?), performed .65 k/d better than average.
