HS10 - Black Ops Multiplayer Weapon Guide

Facebook: http://facebook.com/XboxAhoy Twitter: http://twitter.com/xboxahoy In this episode we're covering the HS10. It's a semi-automatic weapon, unlocked once you've purchased all of the other shotguns. The HS10, or High Standard Model 10, is a US weapon, manufactured by the High Standard Manufacturing Company. It was designed in the mid 1950s, sold to High Standard in the mid 1960s - and the first units were produced in 1967. An unusual design, the HS10 has a bullpup configuration, with the trigger some distance ahead of the action. This means the weapon is of shorter overall length than a conventional shotgun - a useful trait when it comes to close-quarter interior use. Other bullpup shotguns include the South African NeoStead 2000, and the more recent Kel-Tec KSG. The HS10's short, balanced design meant that it was suitable for firing one-handed: ideal for situations where you need a manoeuvrable weapon. The weapon was designed by police sergeant Alferd Crouch for law enforcement, SWAT, and other tactical units. The weapon's favourable handling, paired with the versatility and power of a 12 gauge shotgun, made for an ideal entry weapon: and upon the weapon's introduction it was adopted by some police agencies. However, it was found to have reliability issues - the semi-automatic action failing to cycle reliably, amongst a few other ergonomic faults. In 1970 there was an updated model manufactured - the High Standard Model 10B - but many of the original issues remained. The HS10 fires 12 gauge cartridges, 2 and 3-quarter inches in length. It feeds from a 4-round capacity tube magazine underneath the barrel, and this capacity is reflected in Black Ops. The HS10 is a low damage shotgun, dealing as much damage per shot as the SPAS-12. Like the SPAS, the HS10 makes up for this lower than average damage with a higher rate of fire - up to 341 rounds per minute, meaning you can empty the magazine very quickly. This m
