How have the Model 1887s (akimbo) in COD:MW2 changed since the last patch?

I only noticed the trend with all shotguns was the decrease in range. Pretty much the same thing with the 1887's. Don't worry though, theyr'e still on top! I also heard from someone that the pattern (how far the pellets go out) was tighter but that's just word of mouth. Hope this helps!
