In the mind of many players, this is why they hate the MTS compared to Bulldog:

1. Hipfire spread. Even if you put Steady Aim on an MTS, it's only marginally better than the Bulldog's spread WITHOUT the perk. And without, you're basically required to take a couple hundred milliseconds to ADS. 2. Magazine and reload issues. It cannot accept Extended Mags, it has only 5 shots in the revolver, and reloads painfully slow. Possibly the slowest of all weapons in Call of Duty that have a Speed Reloader. Sleight of Hand is a must. 3. Firecap is much lower. Semi-autos are exceptional at getting an extra shot in, I know, but the MTS pales in comparison to the Bulldog. If more than 2 shots are needed, you better be playing a dumbass or you can just give yourself up when using MTS. 4. The mindset of players wishing to perform their best with a shotgun. This is what makes the MTS so unpopular to the Bulldog. The mindset of these people with shotguns demand weapons that can reload fast, have healthy supplies of ammo, and can be forgiving for poor accuracy. MTS does not fit into those categories. It has the smallest ammo supply, slowest magazine reload of all non-LMG weapons, and doesn't land follow-up shots as easily.
