i'll trust you on this one, but ask yourself this: does the excessive damage make that much of a difference? and in comparision to other ohk snipers, which would have better performance? base this on experience not stats.

half of all shotguns are automatic. tight spread isn't exactly good in all cases. in midranges it can be pretty bad. if crosshair was directly upon the opponent, then there would be more damage. however if the oppenent is jumping like crazy, a bigger spread would be better due to it being harder to aim. its like using a deagle or anaconda, which can be dangerous but only with a shitload of aiming practice. I have the aa for perm, and at real close ranges it is way to dangerous to use. fast rate of fire makes the recoil more noticible and more recoil makes it harder to drag the crosshair around as well, making it hard to hit. if anything this gun is not noob friendly, unless it's noobs against noobs. but any experienced player can easily out manuver the aa 12. also the damage is ridiculous. at long ranges (25 yards) it can take about 6 to 8 direct hits. while at medium ranges it can take about 4 hits, but they have to be direct. damage at close ranges is 2 to 3 shots, but harder to aim. at mid to long ranges a person who has capable spraying practice would have probably killed you already.

in short. fast fire, harder to aim, lack of spread makes more like a deagle than a shotgun, bad damage

aa 12 dominator is a different story
