sawedshotgun weapon type?

Does anyone know if it is useful? Seems like a shotgun that fires one bullet to me.

Its probably like the avenger series in game, lower clip, but higher damage.

Uh... I'm talking about the weapon type in zitem.xml. Try it for yourself: weapon="sawedshotgun". Since damage and clip can be set in there, they're unrelated :P.

well it can be useful depending on how you make it.

I was just guessing how the official servers are going to use it.

And i knew thats what you were saying.

Nothing special from what I saw, it's just like the rifle but with ctrl_ability at 0 and a different muzzle sound.

What is ctrl_ability? I know it's "control ability" but I've never found any difference by increasing / decreasing the values.

On topic: Is this weapon type from Gunz 1.5, or has it been there all along?

ctrl_ability is the spread of bullets. The lower the value, the less spread you have.

The weapon type has been there forever, just never been used like the snifer weapon type.

Been there all along from what I can tell, just like the "snifer."

Then I'll give it a try and post about it soon.

EDIT:

I found the difference between "shotgun" and "sawedshotgun". The usual shotguns, when fired, scatter many bullets together. In the "sawedshotgun" type, there's only 1 bullet observed.

One of the 2 conclusions can be correct:

• The sawedshotgun type is much more powerful than the shotgun type because there's only 1 bullet. So a direct hit would cause full damage on the opponent because with the normal "shotgun" type, bullets are scattered so not all bullets hit the opponent.
  
• Or it's weaker because there's only 1 bullet shot and it may be utilizing the damage specified in the zitem. 9 damage is like nothing. The normal shotgun damages us a lot even if the damage is set to 9. So maybe each scattered bullet does 9 damage and in the sawedshotgun, just 9 damage is done on the opponent which is pretty weak.

If any of you can try it out, please confirm the results. I can't test it by myself.
Also, thanks for making us aware of that weapon type Aristrum. I'll include 2 shotguns of this type and try it out with someone else later.

I'm going to *guess* that it's the latter, in which case it is kind of crappy.

No problem anyways :D.

I can say that the sawedshotgun rly does only one shot.
I at first thought its a hyper dense shot, (all pelets hit the same spot).
But ripping the scene showed me only one decal.
So we have to wait for someone to shoot a char with it and showing the results?
