Gears 3 Beta - Shotgun Inconsistency - Gnasher/Sawed-Off

It is evident from this video that the Gnasher is STILL as inconsistent as it has always been, and the Sawed-Off is following in its footsteps. Some people complain that both, Gnasher and Sawed-Off, shotguns are broken. They say the double barrel shotgun (DBS) is too strong and has too wide of a spread and that the Gnasher's range is too far. I've used both equally and think they are both very fair, and neither needs to be re-balanced for the retail version. From my experience, the DBS doesn't shoot very wide at all. In fact it has similar properties to the Gnasher when shooting from the hip at close range. If you're in a situation to die from a DBS, you're definitely close enough to get killed by a Gnasher shot. The Gnasher's power at a distance shouldn't be a problem if you're dodging appropriately. I think people will learn to avoid those situations and strategize accordingly as time passes - I did after the first few hours of the Beta. So I don't think the strength and range are what's broken about these shotguns. What IS broken are the inconsistencies encountered with each shot. The video demonstrates how multiple shots and even blatant shots often do little (or less than expected) damage. I don't really care if I get killed and it's legit, but there is nothing more frustrating than being robbed of a kill you know you should have got. I could care less if anything else was broken in this game, but if they fixed this one problem (that has been the bane of my existence for the whole Gears series), I would be happy.

This is exactly what I'm talking about. Fix the shit

You went in biased, and got incorrect results.

The Gnasher should be better close range and much worse medium range, it's as simple as that.

Your aim is pretty bad but Gnashers shouldn't be shooting as far as a lancer, it's stupid.

1:08-1:11 is BS. If that happened to me I'd throw my fucking controller through my TV screen.

whenever i play i feel like the game handicaps me because i shoot from the same range twice with an active and the other play turns and 1 shots me

[TheKumitechamp]

Ooh ok yeah you missed alot with the sawed off...bit the ghasher was a different story

[TheKumitechamp]

Missing his shots?! Are you kidding me?! Its a Fucking shotgun to the face! The enemy is supposed to go down..I feel ya bro..how can you sneek up on someone, shoot them point blank (twice) and they turn around and kill you..

Your aiming is horrible same as your hard aiming

There may be some inconsistency in his shots, but no doubt there were some shots that should've killed.
