Even if the AA-12 isn't particularly more accurate, the magazine is faster to reload, and it's air-burst grenades are a cool feature, and the look cool. Therefore they look cool, haha. Yeah I barely ever use them in MW2 and the only things I see going for them are the drum (which is detachable unlike the Striker drum), the rate of fire (useful if moronic OpFor just line up and charge at you), and retro look (they're a bit intimidating, but also compact).
