yes, obviously I can't hipfire it. but at the same time I still have to carry it around. if i'm not actively using it or bringing it along, what is the point of playing a heavy? only getting to use it 20% of the time? that's lame and boring. 

and at the same time I can't carry the shotgun and the ammo, and the stubber plus my kit(even if we trimmed down the useless stuff like the bedroll, that is still a notable amount of weight between the armour, uniform, resperator, etc. Something like 12-15 kg total ontop of 30.... I just can't carry the shotgun. And again, if I abandon the stubber, why am I even playing a heavy?
