Modern Warfare 3 players are not enjoying the mechanics of the new shotgun The Reclaimer 18 (also known as the SPAS-12). The weapon is very easy to obtain, so many are trying it out and it's safe to say they are not enjoying it at all.

The biggest complaint about this shotgun is the inconsistency in damage output across modes. For example, using hipfire mode doesn’t guarantee a one-shot kill point-blank kill from a specific distance, but using it from the same spot with ADS does.
The semi-automatic mode is also inconsistent in terms of damage output compared to the pump action mode. For example, it may take two shots to take out an enemy in pump action mode, while it takes four or five shots in semi-automatic mode at the same distance.
Players have also complained about the damage output at different ranges. One player sums it up perfectly by saying, "I've gotten point blank hitmarkers and then 17 million one shot kills; it has to be the most inconsistent shotgun I've used since the original MW3." (via u/MrCongo93)
