Since everyone seems to complain about, "Spas Spam" and "Lack of skill" when someone uses the spas, it's about time we talk about the issue of THE OVERPOWERED SPAS being nerfed.
Let me first state, that I am fully in support of the spas being nerfed in terms of damage and fire rate. I whole heartedly believe that it would create much more balanced and fun PvP, while also forcing players to use other guns such as the M60 and AK47 (Both of which are good guns, just overshadowed by the power of the spas at close range).
The spas does 10.0 damage per pellet, which of course is the best of all the shotguns available in terms of damage done. The compliment to this however, is the fire rate at which you can fire the spas. It takes 03.44 seconds to fire a whole clip of the spas and just for comparison, it takes 6.45 seconds to fire 6 rounds from the Mossberg (The tier 3 shotgun). I am aware that the spas in real life is a very powerful weapon, but this is a Minecraft PvP server where there are some serious balancing issues in the PvP system.
Anyone really can look at the prior stats and figure out in a second that the spas is the go to weapon on the server for close range. Obviously this leads to many fights beginning and ending with a quick 2 or 3 hit succession with the spas, resulting in a quick kill. Countering this with the M60, AK or Barrett is very challenging as none of those can really compare to the speed and power that the spas puts out at close range.
Clearly, many people on the server rely on the spas which, would trigger many people to backlash at any changes made to it, but I think at this point it should be necessary. I fully supported the removal of comboing from the server as it was a cheap bug used to kill someone fast. Of course this just resulted in people reverting back to just spamming the spas and getting kills just as quickly (There is always problems).
My only suggestions to Nerf the spas to make it more balanced would be to either decrease it's fire rate or lower it's damage significantly. The fire rate between shots being increased would open the user up to being shot down by someone using an M60 or an AK easier, as they won't have to worry about 3 consecutive spas rounds flying at them in under 2 seconds. The damage being lowered would simply increase the survival rate of the victims of a spas spam and give them more time to counter with either their own spas or another gun entirely.
Either way, I believe that this issue needs to be fixed once and for all by the Owners as it has always been a complaint I have seen in the community and now more than every since comboing has been removed.
TLDR; Spas OP pls nerf
