Well, not very optimal range of engagement with that shotgun. And also the explosion shook you pretty good.

Brah, the dude was like 5 meters away.....

well the patch notes only stated that the m1897 and the m30 drilling are being buffed.

The Auto 5 was in there, too. (I think it's called the semi-auto in-game? I don't remember, every game calls it something different.)

The drilling is ridiculous. I like the buff to the shotguns because they were ass even up close. But just now I’ve been sniped from over 200m with a drilling and one shot killed. There isn’t even a slug round upgrade so not sure how it happened. I’m on Xbox so I won’t say cheating but maybe the buff is to much.

The M30 Drilling is basically the Martini Henry crossed with a double barrel shotgun, head shots with the rifle round are pretty reliably a 1 hit kill in my experience, though somewhat hard to pull off at extreme ranges.

Yeah well this guy one hit me at full health from 100+ meters. I didn’t think it had a slug round upgrade so it shouldn’t be possible.

The shotgun crosshairs are a circle because all the pellets are spread out in that circle. Shotguns are able to do big damage when all their pellets hit and thus can 1 shot people. The further away you are shooting someone the more spread your shots will be and the less damage you will do. You probably would of killed him had you aimed for the center of him as you would of had the best chance to land more pellets. You did not deserve that kill especially with the most close range shotgun in the game.
The explosion shaking my camera like a 90 year old with Parkinson's contributed to that as well. Still kind of shit that a gun designed to be lethal in close range gets beat out by a Gewehr.
Thats not exactly close-range tho...
It's okay dude, I feel your pain. In BF4 that definitely would've been a kill with one of the shotguns but people cry too much about them nowadays for them to be viable.
