Some amateurs think that the shotgun (aka "boom stick" for amateurs) isn't a good weapon. I, however, find that the shotgun should be used in every situation, no matter the cost. I love the sound of the boom stick and I have my television up so loud that my speakers almost blow.Usually, when I am about to go, I start screaming "where's my housing" or "where's my the sleeve of my favortie jacket". Hams182 knows exactly what I am talking about.

I know exactly what you are talking about Loser182. I hate it when all these pansies go around saying that the boomstick(Shotgun for all you amateurs out there) isn't a good weapon to use at certain times. Loser182 and I are old school Halo Veterans and we know for a fact that the boomstick is perfectly suitable for all the missions in the game. it can fend off all threats, no matter what size. Anyone else out there agree with us??

Not a good weapon?? Are you kidding me? Who said that? The shotgun is 100% "all-situation" proof. I can snipe with a damn shotgun. No good... phffft.

It was an exaggeration. Of course you can't snipe with a shotgun. I was merely pointing to y'all my mad skillz.

Ahhh, bad english. I feel unclean.

Who calls it the boom stick??? Anyway shotgun is my #1 fav gun in every game. My pair is usually a sniper and a shotgun.

I prefer the swift, clean kills of the finger of god myself.

The finger of god is good at me to long range, but when some one is try to sneak up on me, i turn a round and pump a few rounds into their head. SO the shotgun/sniper pair has saved me many a time.

The boomstick (shotgun) is my favorite weapon in all games, but I on with it in Halo.
