COD4 Call of Duty 4 Best Shotgun Guide and Analysis

Shotgun Call of Duty 4The Shotgun is probably the most unique weapon in the Call of Duty video game simply because it fires totally different than all the other weapons. It is unique because it shoots 8 pellets per shot and each individual pellet has a significant damage value. The drawback being that the pellets travel wildly, making the shotgun optimal for close range encounters. Anyway here is the review for all you aggressive run and gun Shotgun players. As always our data comes from our invaluable Weapon Stats Chart.

W1200 – The W1200 has an carries an impressive 7 rounds and does 40-10 damage per pellet. The high close range damage isn’t hugely useful because at close range all your pellets will be hitting anyway. Long range kills are virtually impossible because the pellets will have dispersed and their damage values plummeted. The one issue with the W1200 is that it only shoots 150 RPM, the slowest fire for any non-sniper weapon. This means in close range battles you may only get one shot off before the enemy takes you down. The high capacity of the W1200 is also critical for Shotguns though; it lets you keep your tempo and not leave yourself open while reloading.

M1014 – The M1014 has slightly lower damage values, 30-10, and a much lower capacity of 4. It does have one huge benefit though, it shots at 300 RPM, twice as fast the W1200. With the M1014 you can burst into a room and empty one round north, south, east and west clearing any signs of life. The lower damage value is barely felt because you have 8 pellets to make up the difference. The lower capacity is significant however because you have to reload between virtually every firefight. This drawback is manageable though as long as you find a safe place to reload and are smart about when you reload. The fully auto fire on the M1014 is just to juicy to pass up on an aggressive attack weapon.

The bottom line: Among Shotguns the M1014 is generally better than the W1200.

    Try the W1200 with a Grip, Double Tap and Steady Aim.

  • Anonymous

    The W1200 with Grip + Double Tap requires two perk slots to fire almost as fast as the M1014 (and it still can’t keep up, firing only at 188 RPM to the M1014′s 300). The M1014, on the other hand, can simply throw on Sleight of Hand and, with one perk slot, almost completely negate the W1200′s clip size advantage (since it’s almost as quick to fire/reload/fire/reload with the M1014 and SoH as it is to just fire/fire/fire/fire with the W1200).

  • Anonymous

    I kinda specialized shotguns using both of them,and often getting first places on map Overgrown also not to mentioned rest of maps and Bloc is my “space” not snaipers one..I use grip,jugernaut and extreme conditions perks (long time i use to have martyrdom on shotgun but find out extreme c. to be more useful,getting fast to enemy spawn points using smoke granate as cover is devastating)and for me its deadly combo.Steady aim is essential for SMG weapons NOT shotguns coz grip does the job on shotguns for that.When playing versus low skilled players i use W1200 coz of bigger clip magazine,and i use M1014 vs better ones often using 2shoot fire for single target so after second kill if i dont have time and space to reload i charge in for knife kill.

    Do you think Double Tap is useful for weapons like G3 or shotguns?

  • Anonymous

    shotgun yes, g3 no.

  • http://cod4source.com cod4source

    As the poster before me said Double Tap will make shotguns fire faster, but not the G3. The rate of fire of single shot weapons like G3 or pistols just depend on how fast you can spam the fire button.

  • hugo

    the best perks to use with the M1014 in my opinion are flash x3 sleight of hand and steady aim. throw a flash bang and charge in.

  • http://www.cod4tips.com Rock

    use the m1014 with 2xrpg+extreme cond+higher explosive damage & when your enemy is in a room at medium range give him a rocket to think about

  • Anonymous

    on the M1014 use sleight of hand. then feel free yo blow through the bullets.

  • Jabba

    W1200 2xrpg sonic boom and matrydom works well although I really want to try out this whole grip double tap method :)

  • iKe

    M1014 w/ stopping power and grip can kill from half way accros shipment in 2 shots and rpgs can help a lot to.

  • Anonymous

    on shipment i use the M1014 with sleight of hand so i can spam 4 shots and kill a guy then reload super quick. Every single other map i would use the W1200

  • Halo Dog47

    ok what is the best for the M1014?

    Sleight of hand
    Stopping Power
    Double tap
    Juggern00b

    Plus how do you think shot guns compare to the other weapons in the game?

  • Jeremy

    @ halo dog47, definately not double tap. That is for sure. Of the other three it is really preference. If you tend to shoot 3-4 shots regardless, then steady aim is for you, but stopping power can really help make your deagle deadly at range (I’m guessing that’s what you’re using with your shotgun because you should be)

  • Solid

    Jeremy you’re wrong halo dog you should put double tap on the W1200 and sleight of hand on M1014 but stopping power should NEVER be placed on a shotgun and juggernoob works out also

  • Anonymous

    The W1200 with double tap is like the m1014 with stopping power only much, much slower and with less power and range.
    Both shotguns require about half of their pellets to land in order to kill. Stopping power brings it down to just 2 or 3 and is invaluable for the occasional mid range fight.

  • SoySauce

    I like putting Stopping Power on my W1200.. It increases the chances of 1 shot kills.

    If you know you’ll miss or don’t believe in 1 shot killing use the m1014..
    I don’t miss too often so i use the W1200. Enemies drop pretty quick. It’s even better when i get a 2 fer 1 ;)

  • Halo Dog47

    Whenever I use the M1014 it seems like I usually need 3 shots to kill from any range outside of 5 feet in front of me. With the W1200 I find myself have much less trouble killing people and usually one shot at a longer range than the M1014 can 3 shot.

  • Solid

    halo dog use bandolier and sleight of hand on the M1014 that’s gonna rakc you up a good amount of kills

  • Halo Dog47

    Solid, yeah that would take care of the ammo and clip waste, but the main problem is that I get killed by the guy I’m trying to kill while having to fire 3 shots while with the W1200 I usually one shot. Plus bandolier gets rid of my medium to long range RPGs.

  • http://www.HTML-Support.com HoucK

    Nice post!
    I really don’t like the shotgun much, but I don’t underestimate it. If I see someone with it, I’m pressing the S key and getting as much range as possible.

  • DranosS

    Playing Shotgun is actually very simple, run and gun. But you need to be very effective at it!
    I think shotgun is actually the only class that can take full advantage of all your resources, with the huge range disadvantage of course.
    I play W1200 w/Grip, Jugg, Ex. Conditioning. Just smoke & frag to cover your path and run into them trying to get 1-2 kills, then, be effective at doing it fast & again. If you can manage to throw your smoke in the right place it’ll guarantee 1-2 kills before someone picks you from middle/long range. Many many more kills than just camping!

    i use the M1014 with grip/ red dot.
    rpg if no grip faster reloading and shooting thru walls thingy, gr8 desription

  • Anonymous

    I’m goin for the golden shotty and what I was use is either shotgun with red dot sight, 3x stun, UAV jammer, and extreme conditioning. That class is great as its very easy to flank without being caught, and then you just toss stun(s) and set up for the easy headshot on a stunned enemy. This got me red tiger W1200 and digital m1014 in just one day.

  • Anonymous

    Dude, for the M1014 shotty, you MUST use uav jammer. This perk allows you to use running and gunning in a whole new way…with ninja abilities!! Also, extreme conditioning and the grip work tremendously well with it. With this combo, you can EASILY make sudden pop outs in corners and dish out some sweeeet kills…..

    Steady aim seems to make the pellets spread less which in turn increases your effective killing range.

    I have had great success with these builds:

    I agree with 18. Basically, the M1014 to me is just a wildly inefficient shotgun, it doesn’t seem to be able to pull 1 shots, and the way I play shotgun, it’s all about rhythm. 1 shot kill, sprint w/extreme conditioning, 1 shot kill, sprint… And UAV Jammer to make sure they don’t come after me between kills, don’t need stopping power with the Winchester since it can get 1 shot kills at ranges far beyond what the M1014 can.

  • Hepatitis TK

    One thing to mention: If you are serious about using shotguns, never, ever, EVER!!! put RDS on your shotgun setup. You are much more accurate while hip-firing as opposed to aiming down the sights. They are hip-fire weapons. Because of that, RDS is useless. Throw grip on instead and watch your kill count go crazy.

  • carrisi_87

    i got 49 kills 8 deaths 2day using m1014 extreme c jugernought n 3 frags on normal team deathmatch, bassically coz im the fukin nuts

  • Anonymous

    I’m an avid shotgun fan, and I’d have to disagree with the overall analysis. I’d take the W1200 any day and twice on Sundays. The only thing the M1014 is good at is outdueling other shotgunners with a W1200 due to the rate of fire if nobody manages an instagib (i.e. YOU’RE BAD or very unlucky or shooting from a mile away). Too few shots that fire too fast. It’s a beast 1 on 1, but that’s about it. Also, I find that aiming down the sights with the M1014 slows you way the hell down, while you maintain nearly full speed with the W1200.

    W1200 is built for taking on the optimal amount of foes without having to reload after every encounter. I just wish it was the gold version :/

    And while I have no data to back up my claim, for ME at least, I get WAY more instagibs with the W1200 (though the M1014 seems to have a slightly better range).

  • Anonymous

    I’d also add that the Shotgun MOST DEFINITELY requires the most strategy of any gun type (on most levels). You have to use every trick in the book not to get gunned down before you’re in range (unless you’re playing complete stooges of course).

  • AFrench

    Use any type of shotgun with Grip, Stopping Power, and Steady Aim. Use the W1200 if you know how to handle the shotgun for 1 shot kills and use the M1014 if you need to get use to the shotgun. Grip helps the accuracy, Stopping power makes the damage redonkulous, and Steady Aim makes the spread of the pellets more close together as long as you dont zoom in. Fantasic for Ambush, District, Downpour, Vacant, Wetwork and A MUST in Showdown. Force the other team into one of the entrances and let them flood to you while hiding in a corner away from their sights. Great for 1 on 1 too. Shoot from the hip and let God sort His own

  • abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

    I’ve found out that the W1200 is best w/ grip , stopping power and Deep impact.

    i prefer th W1200 because of the amount of amo. it usaly is a one hit kill tpye of thing. i dont use the grip because of getting rid of the rockets. i just put a red dot sight on it and go. please subscribe for a friend if you want a callenge from a 11 year old o and by the way im in the 7th prestige.

    I found that either shotgun with grip and dead silence is the best. I use overkill with it also. If you don`t use overkill then use either sleight of hand or UAV jammer. There you go. Use it.

  • AerobicTiger

    Yeah thanks. That works so good. I love you

  • Africa Sucks

    anyone who looks down shotgun sights is dumb, shouldering it increases the spread. so red dot is not only usless its makes you worse. thank you for reading and i wanna let you know that my cock is severely larger than yours

  • adris 74

    in my opionon shotguns in general should always be overkilled on stages like overgrown pipeline,with a m14 ,g3 or my favourite the m4 carbine with silencer . if the stage is a stage for example shipment or vacant shotguns are very effective ,but i find the only way to survive is with juggernaut and extreme condition , it will take a bit of gettin used to but after you will become very consistent and will begin to like the perks . my advice is if u ar acurate then use the first shot gun if ur not so accurate use the 2nd shotgun also always use grip and come prepared with smoke . from the ps3 prestige 10 hope this helped

  • Luke

    surely on hardcore mode shotguns are completly pointless seeing as they do the same or less amount of damage as any pistol, but with a smaller clip, shorter range ect.

  • Ben

    M4014 shotgun with stopping and ext con. , il be playing on xbox live laters guys, add me and reference this site, BENINBEV22 is my i.d., peace and happy 5+’ing!!

  • Jotato

    Been a shotgun fan for quite a while myself…my skill varies depending on the day…but id have to say that the 1014 is extremely effective for the multi-personnal killing…i generally use mine with grip, UAV jammer (stopping power is not an option for me, the high damage will generally drop a person, kinda wasted) and steady aim…i think it is a must considering the fact that its a guaranteed 1 shot drop depending on your range…however the 1200 has more range than the 1014 and is my favorite because of that sickening thud when you walk into a room and you know that they’re already dead xD…sadly however i must report i use mine with jugernoob…grip and steady aim

  • Anonymous

    stopping power is useless for shotguns, if they are close enough to be hit it should kill them anyways with one shell. which frees up your 2nd tier perks with something like jugg, SOH, double tap, or my personal favorite for shotguns, UAV jammer. i think the jammer is by far the best perk for a shot gun because for obvious reasons you need to be up close to kill.

  • Anonymous

    W1200 + Double Tap = 40 damage, 500 range, 210 rpm

    M1014 + Stopping Power= 42 damage, 600 range, 300 rpm

    awesome. Except Dt sucks.

    W1200/ rds
    deagle
    fragsX3
    juggernaut (double tap is redundant because you kill in one hit)
    Extreme Conditioning (Steady Aim is unneeded because it has better accuracy)

    So…..

    M1014 42 per pellet, less chance of pellets hitting, faster ROF
    W1200 40 per pellet, more chance of pellets hitting, slower ROF, takes another hit to kill.

    Its so obvious that the W1200 is better. Although I rock with both of them (to get the golden M1014)

    My PSN is Dan_The_Man111 add me

  • ilikedik

    the W1200 with Juggernaut and Extreme Conditioning is the best shotgun. Just keep moving
    and making unexpected moves, also is your playing on a sniper map , just do building swaps on Bloc or on Overgrown

  • BlameTruth

    the w1200 is by far the best shotgun.just use it with no attachment, either bomb squad or bandolier, juggernaut,and extreme conditioning. people say jugger is for noobs but if you dont take the game to seriously it is the perfect perk for shotgunning(who cares what other people think) and grip does absolutely NOTHING but make it where you get no first perk. use extreme conditioning and juggernaut so you can get close enough to your target to get that one hit kill

  • Keenus

    OK, if ur serious about ur shotgunning, use the w1200 with a grip (it helps a lot if u miss first shot) although u shouldn’t if u use this shotty. 2nd perk should be SOH or UAV jammer, so u can get up close and 3rd perk should be either Steady aim, extreme cond or dead scilence. DONT USE MARTYDOM, ITS FOR NUBS!!!
    second shotgun m1014, is just as good as w1200. It requires skills for quick reloads, so i recomend SOH or stopping power as the damage is not as good as the w1200. Also a grip to keep u on target whenever you fire, and steady aim to keep the pelets together.
    A FEW TIPS:
    When starting, dont aim for the head as you will most likly not kill in 1 hit, aim for the chest

    When your about to fire, jump then shoot at an ememy, makes it harder to be killed and suprsinly, makes it easier to kill

    Be prapared to knife, if you cannot knife people, don’t shotgun as u need it a lot

    NEVER shotgun on Overgrown or Countdown

    When in a building or rounding a corner, NEVER SPRINT. Takes longer to then fire unless you knife the enemy.

    post to say wether these hints have helped
    Thanks

    By the way, if u play PS3 COD4 add be ……

  • Marios

    HAHAHAHA retards u really believe that steady aim actually increases hip fire on shotguns?it does nothing!!!!!

    the hip fire on the shotguns is 5.5 and with steady aim its still 5.5!!!!!use extreme conditionin or dead silence!

  • Dan

    The second shotgun with the grip, stopping power, and extreme conditioning are the best perk. If you use either shotgun and watch the crosshairs on regular deathmatch they do not move like they do with every other gun, so steady aim is useless. Extreme conditioning allows you to run around to get close like you need to with the shotgun.

  • =RuC=C-Jay

    Whoever uses deep impact on a shotgun is n00b, deep impact is for deeper penetrations, that means that u can kill someone easier behind a wall. It is USELESS on a shotgun! And that with the hip-fire is pure bullshit, its changes nothing use dead silence or extreme condition.

    i have the M1014 with grip/uav jammer( so i can sneak behind me enemies and kill them)/and extreme condition

    I think its the best combination!

  • Anonymous

    h

  • Sniping Nub

    =RuC=C-Jay has got it all right, except that u should use W1200 instead of the M1014 because of the more power, more shots per clip, and more overall ammo.
    My preffered shotty class would be:

    1 frag/ 1 smoke
    W1200 with grip and desert camo (looks awesome on Showdown) ;)
    Perks:
    UAV JAMMER and extreme conditioning
    Side Arm: Golden Deagle

    P.S. ALWAYS FIRE FROM THE HIP, EVEN IF UR TRYING TO GET HEADSHOTS
    P.S.S. What’s the point of putting steady aim if ur gonna put a grip on it?
    P.S.S.S. If ur a noob and really want to use red dot sight, i know there’s a glitch that lets u put red dot sight and the grip on, (Ive seen it used before) just google the glitch and u should find out how to do it.

    alright kids…you cant be good with one shotgun without being good with the other…so use the 1200 with jammer or stopping power (cause if your runnin n gunnin you might not always be as accurate) and extreme conditioning for (R n G), dead silence (flanking the other team), steady aim (for most accurate shot), matyrdom (piss off the other team on CC maps)…NEVER USE SLEIGHT OF HAND on the pump(you have enough catridages to keep shooting hide and reload….now the 1014….i usually put sleight of hand so i can go around poppin heads off, also stopping(same reason as 1200), juggernaut (for countdown), uav jammer(flanking again),sonic boom( with 3xfrags, matyrdom), overkill(hardcore)….red dot doesnt hurt or matter…witth the pump aim down you an shot farther and more accurate hence the red dot is where your shooting…..classes im using now

    w1200 all day!

    grip seems useless imo

    always use extreme cond! (if u using a shotgun then ur rushing just to get to the enemy bcuz of your range)

  • J4ck Death

    The W1200 is so much nicer. You kill anyone within 10 feet with one shot while further away take 2 well placed shots.
    Also JUGERNAUT saves ur ass more times than anything else. Just run like hell and never stop.

    Jumping seems to get my gun up faster when running so give it a try.

    You can use it on any map. Ive killed just as many people on Overgrown as Vacant. Hope this helps :)

  • Anonymous

    LMFAO RDS isn’t useless for Shotties. Most people use it instead of Grip because the latter uses up Perk #1, which can be substituted for a handy RDS and Frag x3.

  • anon

    juggernaut isn’t very good with shotty because you’re generally so close to people, it will only keep you alive for an extra 0.1 second

    on the other hand, stopping power can be the difference between 1 hit kill and 2 hit kill.

  • Energizerr

    I personally choose the W12 , just because it’s more powerful, I don’t have aiming problems , and its a pump for christ sake .

    Right now im using ..

    W1200(Grip)
    Usp.45 Silence (Pick whatever I just like the usp ^.^)
    [Grip takes up perk1]
    Switches between Stopping Power, and UAV , depending if the other team is being mean .
    ALWAYS Extreme Conditioning . Never without it .

    To the ppl who say dont shotgun on overgrown or countdown .. why ? I always rape the snipers in the back with it . I always go positive and by a long shot, plus, its hilarious to kill someone on an obvious sniper map with the exact opposite gun. (:

    Cheers, and happy shotgunning (:

    To the moron who said that Steady Aim doesnt help, it compacts the spread of the pellets together making it more lethal for one target VS the normal spread for hitting mutipal targets.

  • jk

    steady aim isn’t needed for a shotgun, its for the SMG’s….. if you don’t know this already, you lack COD4 intelligence…..and for those people calling anything on COD4 Noob stuff, is also dumb…. every perk has its advantages and disadvantages… any perk that gets you mad and you can’t figure out a way to get around it, YOU”RE THE NOOB…. and people who can’t kill other players that use juggernaut and cry all day is obviously trash, thats why they complain… i kill guys with juggernaut all the time, i don’t get mad, i laugh…. get better scrubs

    Add me on xbox live I will kick ur butt

  • i know more about the game than u

    dont be rediculous the m1014 is way better than the w1200..
    because the m1014 with bandolier,sleight of hand,steady aim
    its just that some noobs cant kill someone with the 4 shells a m1014 holds
    so they turn to the gay w1200 that holds more ammo…

  • Viper54297

    The Winchester is the best…trust me im an experanced player. its kills quicker

    W1200
    USP.45 SD
    Frag x3
    UAV / Double Tap / Juugernut mostly use UAV Jammer
    Extreme Conditioning

    best shotty class add me!!!!!!! Viper54297!!!!!!!!!!

    it all depends on your playing style if you like to rush into the enemy spawn and nob people from close range then the w1200 is better bevcause of the power and shell capacity with jugganoob bomb squad or grip and myrtadom allthough its gay. but it works. alltough i hate jugg and myrtadom and think ther gay i dont mind if a shotty is using them because there great with it.

    i use.
    w1200 cuz its the best

    bomb squad cuz it helps when clearing out buildings which i do alot

    jugg helps not getting owned when someone sees you from far away.

    dead silence cuz it helps with the building and getting close.

    special nade- SMOKE!!!!!!! if you throw a smoke nade and rush through it people get confused and you owwn when you keep calm jump out the smoke and tear up ther face.

    W1200 juggernaut extreme conition ALWAYS i got 31 kills stikes with that (grip) and smoke

  • G-ster

    problem with the w1200, jugenaught, extreme conditioning, is that knifing is more effective, as its easier to hit and doesnt show up on the radar, whenever i use the w1200 i find myself knifing loads and not really using the gun, also if you need 7 shotgun rounds to down a guy, then you need ot work on your aim,.

    4 rounds from the m1014 and you can pretty much garuntee a dead oponent, and taking on multiple enimies is stupid, especially with the w1200 as it has such a slow rpm, i cant see a great use for the higher capacity, unless you have terrible aim, in which case, the shotgun is not for you. I also find the USP pistol can sometimes outgun the w1200.

    Grip is the most pointless waste ever, it slighty tightens up the spread of shots, tbh i wud rather have a wide spread of shots and get an easier kill, cus 8 pellets times 40 = 320 so tbh you dont need to be doing 320 damage, when the enemy has 100/140 health (with juggernaught), spread the pellets out and get easier aim and more kills, the effect it has on range shots is minimal, and the grip itself doesnt have too much off an effect anyway, when you fire at a wall to see the spread difference. I have actually found claymores to be quit useful with the shotgun, as you can lure in oponents with extreme and jug, and then watch em get blown up, or plant claymores in the enemy spawn, to cover your back as you spawn trap em. 3 frag is always good, and bondaleer, if you dont like picking up other peoples weapons.

    but i still feel that shotguns are really bad in this game, and a silanced smg / knifing is normally more effective. But in a hybrid class with the dragnov they are very good defencive weapons, for gaurding doorways and work well with the dragonov sniper. I have used both shotguns and they feel pretty equal, but im an m1014 fan, just because it can outgun those agile smg’s, and works better in laggy games. Hybrid sniper classes take advanatge of there there good qualites, they dont need stopping power, they are very good defence weapons, and they are good at close range, which comments the dragonov well, as the dragonov does not gain any real bonus from stopping power.

  • quirky_asian

    W1200 is way better. Try
    perk 1: grip(better to use with double tap)/bandolier(you can always use xtra ammo)
    perk 2: UAV jammer( to sneak upon ur enemies)/ juggernaught (obvious)/ double tap( take on multiple enemies)
    perk 3: extreme cond(to get up close)/martyrdom(cos ya should be fighting in corridors or tight spots or close range)/steady aim( to decrease pellet spread making bigger damage. But if you suck at aiming then dont use this)

  • i am W1200

    W1200 for the win! M1014 is for noobs. W1200 is the real shit. try it. you’ll love it

  • SkorpionRox

    Why use a shotgun? A skorpion with stopping power kills in 1/9 of a second, practically instantly. It kills in two shots and has a 20 round magazine, so it can kill 10 people, more than either shotgun, without reloading. Plus, it is actually possible to get long range kills as it has no sway or recoil. Unless you particularly need a perk two slot and it is worth having 3 less kills in a clip, you shouldn’t use a shotgun.

    my shotgun classes from best to worse

    w1200(only disadvantage the low fire rate and the chik-chik)
    red dot sight(what the… advantage gives the grip to a shotgun?)
    bandolier(more ammo for ever)
    sleight of hand(stopping power is useless for the shotguns)
    extreme conditioning(reach your target faster and make shotguns death machines)

    m1014(only thing aove the w1200 is the faster fire rate)
    red dot sight(same as before)
    bandolier(who doesnt need more ammo)sleight of hand(4 bullets,reloading is the most doing thing with this gun)
    extreme conditioning(same as above)

    My gosh, W1200 is definitely better than M1014, but your perks are just wrong. Put BANDOLIER, you’ll need that if shotgunners play smart. And STOPPING POWER, you’ll need that extra hit dealt to your enemies, as the shotguns has only a 75%  (i’ve tested) to 1-hit an enemy. Lastly, DEEP IMPACT. Use that to penetrate walls, don’t you think you’re pissed off when part of ur spread hit him and not actually killing him ?
