+1 from a longtime shotgun slut. I've always used the pump shotgun or regular shotgun, but never the Loco. I hate it. I think it's overpowered because all someone has to do is walk right next to you with it and then one shot you. You can't do anything about it because as an innocent, you can't attack first. You just have to accept getting one hit killed. In this regard, the locomotive shotgun is quite similar to the knife. The knife is a one hit kill weapon that only requires a close range to kill. However, the great thing about the knife is that you can only buy a SINGLE KNIFE every round as a T. However, the Locomotive has 4 shots in a magazine and plenty of extra ammo. This is ridiculous. Properly done, a player could get upwards of 6 easy one hit kills. That makes the Locomotive SIX TIMES more powerful than the knife. That's just ridiculous.

The locomotive can hardly be compared to a regular shotgun. Other shotguns are only rarely one hit weapons, and often require a head shot (skill required) to actually get that one hit kill. The locomotive, on the other hand, can get a one hit shot off by hitting the left foot of a player. That doesn't make much sense. Additionally, the locomotive, which allegedly requires a close range to do damage, manages to do significant (20+) damage to players from distances of over 30 feet. Something that is expected to be wildly inaccurate at those ranges shouldn't be putting a player down to hurt or wounded.

It's abundantly clear that the locomotive needs to be removed or nerfed to make it equivalent to the strength of other shotguns. The only people that are actually defending the locomotive are those that use it regularly. Yes, Penny, Helen, and Starky, I'm looking at you.
