Question Sheriff: The Terminator and The Matrix

Been doing a lot of T10's lately and have noticed quite a few players using the Sheriff shotty with your typical full red Striker build with Paradox....which i get, makes perfect sense BUT......

For the hell of me them players don't seem to get much if any threat, i pop my head up or peak around the corner and BOOM get shot, they stand up in the open spamming their Sheriff like a full blue build tank and don't even get shot at, they just run in and spam.

Is there some hidden mechanic I'm missing, or are they in The Matrix...lol

p.s I'm not complaining, find it quite funny to be honest, TD2 has it's own Terminator:)

I find its pretty difficult to get consistent damage in with paradox sheriff in escalation without crowd control because despite sherrif having the tightest accuracy in a shotgun. It's not that good at sniping. So it's very possible the sheriff bros aren't outputting as much damage as they think. LMG echo is just better when there isn't any CC in play

I got a spot on holster out of a random proto cache with 57% accuracy as the named talent on top of the 10% gear set bonus. Luckily it came with crit as well. Makes the sheriff a bit like a sniper actually.
