I don’t have much time to grind so most of the time I focus on axis normandy (I’m 2 lvls from the finish).
Also allied nations combined have maybe 5 weapons I’m interested in so I never bothered to grind them.
Also also I don’t play “the optimal way” so my score isn’t amazing. Not to mention I don’t have premium. It’s a long process.
That’s just JP IV and Panther iirc. Very rewarding end of progression xD
Yup, worth this whole grind 
At this point I just want to get to the end for a personal achievement.
M50 is Thompson with way better accuracy and recoil.
Maybe, but I’m not a fan. The sight is horrible.
It makes taking a second weapon slot worth it from fun perspective.
That’s what i did.
I like Browning shotgun in lone fighters, it so funny to play.
But low ammo capacity for squads.
True, especially if you are not at campaign level 19 to be able buy big ammo pouches. Very clever.
Yep, but that’s not problem if you use them on engineers.
Thx. 
It’s generally good enough to keep 1 assaulter troop type with that even post lvl 19
Toz b and m30 drilling are worth for a wild engineer on old premiums, much fun guns to use now and then since buff.
As for “semi auto” ones like Browning, they are decent, untill one have to reload mid fight
Isn’t the normandy one the “trench gun”?
Yes,
I think it’s the same as the one in Tunisia.
I don’t use those much here maybe due to the terrain and because those campaigns have much more potent weapons… But I think I should give it another chance. I haven’t used it much after it got patched, and being an engineer weapon, it’s much more interesting nowadays.
Ppl say they got bad IS but, really, those are exactly like irl! Easy to head shot with those. (God… I shoot ppl in the face with shotties… that’s so bad!)
(On another note, had a lot of fun 2 days ago hunting big German game with the Soviet hunting shotgun really thrilling to use, with only 2 shots. Gotta do the same with the Drilling soon.)
Tbh after buff, I rock a m30 in my eng in mp40/i and I couldn’t ask for better. (ofc fg42 II would be better) but… Fun to use? Nah m30 hits the spot.
And i can rock a game version of a weapon I own, what more can I ask 
I m waiting patiently for merge, to see if I can rock the m30 /toz on other squads.
But I have to wait for that
Toz b, and m30 are just fun, semi ones ain’t for me, u m just bad with them lol
I admit i took me some practice getting used to. It works differently than in other videos games. It works like real life:
You got to take tour time and aim with them, just like when you go hunt small game. Not like a road sweaper in those zombies or CoD kiddie games.
But they’re fun, there’s no doubt.
I got a quirk where I try to get comfortable with any and all weapons games generally offer, so that if I pick one of the ground (I lack ammo often), I’ll be competent with it.
My last challenge is trying to get very good with revolvers (Can tell you it’s good head shot practice)
I love to try funny things, even if I’m not effective doing it. It’s fun.
Also, using mp40/i is making us men of culture. God, I love that specific weapon since RO2!
Is it any good, maybe. I love it though, very fun to use and can be very useful in CQC. Would recommend going for it.
It’s not worth it, but it’s interesting for engineers.
Yes, BUT!

According to the wiki, there are two versions of the Winchester 1912:
The one we have in Normandy and Tunisia
And a similar version with drilled out barrel guard, named “trench” version, unavailable in game yet, but available in the editor:
By the way, it also looks like it’s got a bayonet support.
My guess is that the latter is eventually going to be either a golden weapon, or a reward in a future “reinforcements received” event.
(Or at least I hope so. It looks badass.)
(Now I want it, damnit.)
Or it could be potentially continuation of shotgun line, having better stats and already mentioned bayonet.
But I guess I am just being optimistic and completely disillusional.
Reward for another FOMO event is way more realistic.
Realistically speaking, even if it was a tech tree unlock, it should still be a low BR weapon.
I don’t know, it all depends or stats.
I am not really a expert on WWII shotguns. I don’t know which shotgun could be considered as classic high BR material (if any).
Im current meta, shotguns are still mediocre at best anyway and mostly still just very gimmicky. (In my opinion)
The only reason why Browning Auto 5 at Pacific is good pick, is because all other progression allied assault weapons there pretty much sucks (BARs, Johnson’s LMGs, M2 carbines aren’t assault weapons while being way superior to any allied progression assault weapon there) + small bonus that you can take it with engineer.
