Be careful what door you shoot there may be explosives behind it

Hello, just started using the Rifleman specialist kit. I love the shotgun. I just realized the shotgun is labelled with "breaching slugs," so I decided to do some breaching. I went to a Kashan training server, went to the infantry village, found a door on a completely intact building, then shot it with the shotgun. What happened? The friggin building exploded! it killed me too! Why did that happen? Is this suppossed to happen?

Those buildings are "Breach-able"

If you went to, say, an insurgency map, you can find breach-able doors, which when you shoot with the breaching shotgun, it opens up.

The problem is, those buildings are destruct-able.. so it doesn't quite work out as it should.

So when it gets fixed will you be putting some weapons caches in building with doors so you will have to storm a room?

another question about breaching gun,
does the "breaching slugs" kills with one shot from close range?

I dont think it does any damage at all...

It does (had a "shotgun and knives only" game on iGi some time ago, and it's actually quite precise if you ask me), and one shot seems to be enough to kill someone (thing is, it only fires one "slug", so aim before you pull the trigger.).

Really? Lots of people are/were telling me it does nothing at all....

the shotgun kicks ***....

tis my favourite weapon on fallujah

Its a material issue afaik. The doors that are supposed to be breached open with shotguns have a "weakness" to the breaching shotgun. However, that material seems to be the same as used in some other buildings, which then explode.

The shotgun to me is a pwnage secondary weapon that makes the rifleman specialist an even better kit, however, it does not have grenades theres once in Barracuda where i defended myself in that tunnel complex with my rifle and shotgun against a squad hunting for me, but i still got killed by a grenade after that

Haha epic

[heyjoe]

yep, it makes sense it will kill you. if its powerful enough breach steel lock it would make a big hole in a humen chest.

btw u can also breach doors/gates with the .50 cal
