Shotguns

If you really like one-shotting enemies as you ninja your way around the map and don't like how long it takes to recover from a knife stab, use a shotgun. In Call of Duty 4, the shotguns deal a lot of power per shot while letting you move as quickly as possible. Beware the short range, though! Be prepared to switch to your pistol or (if you use Overkill) a longer-range main weapon if your target gets too far away.

W1200:
Winchester W1200 Defender Accuracy: 3 / 12 Damage: 11 / 12 Range: 2+ / 12 Fire Rate: 2+ / 12 Mobility: 12 / 12 Clip Size/Reserve Ammo: 7/21 Recoil: very high upper right Reload Time: 1 First Shell / 0.5 Next Shell Good Perks/Attachments: Double Tap, Sleight of Hand, Steady Aim

10-40 (per pellet) Range: 300-500 Rate of Fire: 150 RPM Penetration: Small Buckshot Pellet Location Damage Multiplier: Head (1.0) / Neck: (1.0) / Torso: (1.0) / Stomach: (1.0) / Limbs (1.0) Hip Accuracy: 4 Stances / 5.5 Sighted

The combat version of the American-made pump-action shotgun. You're more likely to get a one-shot kill with this gun than with the M1014, but you'll need to be more accurate with your shots and more careful about taking on groups of enemies. I have yet to test this gun with Double Tap, but I suspect it may give this gun an edge over the M1014 depending on how much the fire rate increases. Notes: - Because the shotguns accept individual shells, you can press fire while reloading to halt the reloading process and chamber whichever shell you loaded last, in case you need to attack while reloading.- The W1200 is unlocked at Rank 2 Private along with Demolitions preset class

M1014:
M1014 (Benelli M4 Super 90) Accuracy: 3+ / 12 Damage: 9+ / 12 Range: 2+ / 12 Fire Rate: 4 / 12 Mobility: 12 / 12 Clip Size/Reserve Ammo: 4/16 Recoil: moderate/high upper right Reload Time: 1 First Shell / 0.5 Next Shell Good Perks/Attachments: Stopping Power, Sleight of Hand, Bandolier, Steady Aim

Damage: 10-30 (per pellet) Range: 300-600 Rate of Fire: 300 RPM Penetration: Small / Buckshot Pellet Location Damage Multiplier: Head (1.0) / Neck: (1.0) / Torso: (1.0) / Stomach: (1.0) / Limbs (1.0) Hip Accuracy: 5 All Stances / 5.5 Sighted

An Italian-made semi-automatic combat shotgun used by the U.S. Armed Forces. The potentially devastating effectiveness of this gun, known well to auto-shotty-hating CounterStrike players everywhere, has been reduced by the use of a 4-shell capacity. You will need to reload this gun constantly when you're not firing it, making Sleight of Hand very useful. If you don't trust your aim enough to use the W1200 or if you're playing on heavily populated servers filled with groups of enemies too large to handle efficiently with pump-action, choose this shotgun.(Note: The W1014 is unlocked at Rank 31 Captain)
