My problem with the nerf is the map size. Most maps are small with tight corners. When trying to use a auto rifle at its intended range a enemy can eat bullets and close the gap to one shot /slide with a shot gun. It is hard to stay at their intended range with maps being so small and intended distance being able to be closed to quickly to eat a shotgun or fusion rifle blast. i feel if you encounter someone running around with a shotgun that is mid range your auto rifle should be more than enough dpsto be able to put them down before they get into shotgun range. Ifthey get the drop on you or you encounter them in the intended shotgun range then by all means shotgun should win. Basically we need bigger maps with less blind spots or inpact given back to auto rifles. Just my opinion.
