Except in BF 4 you didn ' t get the opportunity to return fire . You seem too focused on jerking off to your TTK numbers to consider how it works in practice . If an enemy starts shooting you in BF 4 you die . In BF 1 a lot of guns give you time to turn around and return fire , and anyone with a shotgun with turn around and one shot the attacker , as I ' m sure you know because I ' m sure you use the 10 A plenty . loses its ability to reliably OHK after about 15 m . reliably . Doesn ' t mean it doesn ' t happen frequently beyond 15 m , as anyone with more than 1 h of 10 A will tell you . Since when was a RoF of 66 RPM taking into account spread reset times ever forgiving ? Since over half the other available weapons in BF 1 won ' t kill so easily in the 0 . 77 s you need to reload what kind of monkey waits for spread reset ? . If you want to argue stats , please make sure you actually know what the numbers mean and how they work in practice .
