Battlefield 3 870MCS Shotgun - With Flachettes

A short highlight video showcasing the capabilities of the MCS shotgun with Flachette ammunition. Flachettes behave like standard buckshot ammunition, only with extended range and marginally lower stopping power. Flachettes seem to be able to penetrate certain terrain objects as enemies, increasing overall damage against tightly-clustered groups.

What's better, buck or flechette? Regarding kill shots at range and killing large groups or enemies.

@Jords464 Flachettes, EASILY. The buckshot is only effective at extremely close ranges, and by that I mean pretty much point-blank range. The Flachettes do more than enough damage at point-blank for the all-important 1-hit-kill, making the buckshot to be kind of pointless. Plus, flachettes they can penetrate thin surfaces and other players, making them a real 'crowd pleaser'.

@terminox I actually find buckshot much more effective close range, but flechettes are certainly more effective against clusters and at longer ranges.

[terminox]

@0Tanker0 Well I find that the flachettes tend to one-shot people at the kind of ranges where buckshot is supposed to be most effective, making them kind of useless. You may as well roll flachettes for the added range and penetration.

aiming is honestly a little bad but gameplay is still good

[terminox]

@xDrickk Yeah the beta didn't run too well when I recorded this, so I was playing a bit like shit.

@oBLACKIECHANoo Really? I've tried the slugs, and I found that the flachettes are much better. I don't think the slugs can 1-hit body kill anymore at close range, and they've been insanely nerfed at long range.

@Daemeon93 *Buckshot*: Extreme close-range pellets. High point-blank damage, but crap accuracy and damage beyond about 5 meters. *Flachettes* Like buckshot, but with less point-blank damage and significantly more range. *Slugs* Just like BC2's, but nerfed, damage-wise, with a low velocity and dramatic drop at range. *Frag* crap-tastic damage but with high suppression i.e. still crap.

Does the explosive specialization work on shotgun frags?

[BVickers5]

@terminox you sir are a legend! You've earned a sub an a like :)

what the fuck is up with the aa-12 when people shoot at me with that its like a tank shootin at me.

And still i find it quite retarded how it still takes 2 shots to kill people over a pretty normal range. (15meters).
