Shovel or battle axe?

It all depends really, you need to look into the pro's and con's of each weapon.
Axe:
Pro's:
Strong left click damage.
Strong right click damage.
Good range.
Fast, easy Headshots.(from my experience.)
Con's:
Slow
You cut off your fingers when you pull it out(Seriously, whats the deal with this? -.-)
Field Shovel:
Pro's:
Strong right click damage.
Amazing range(even without lag o.O)
You hit your opponent on the back swing(this is a pro and con however, and will be fixed.)
Con's:
WEAK left click damge(30-50
)
Very slow!(Can be used to your advantage however ;P)
Timing is off.
Makes a lot of people rage and QQ.(this is also a pro
)
Theres more but honestly, thats all i got. -

That's why i prefer the battle axe, with 1 hit kill ^^ -
I've used both axe and shovel and i suggest u buy axe. With axe although it has a slow start it's way easier to kill and oppenent, u dont even have to do powermove to get a headshot kill wich is a very good thing. I find shovel hard to use, cuz when oppenent gets to close it doesnt actualy hit him and ye it's powermove is slow but garantueed k0.

axe does 80 damage to legs 100 anywhere else. shovel is ALWAYS 1 hit kill. (right click)
shovels left click is same as knife but slower. axe is 1 hit kill to face. usually 80 to body.
shovel is lighter. but harder to aim and time.
the range between shovel and axe and knife is generally unnoticable. (people lagging is why shovel has a reputation for having a good range)
overall, shovel is better in ghost mode. axe is better in knife only matches. knife is better for emergency pull-outs for when u run out of ammo. -
Both the AXE and the Shovel are similiar weapons. Both kill anyone in 1 hit if you use the right click function. If you left click it's usually a 2 hit kill, unless you hit the head. Probably the biggest difference between the 2 is the delay the right click functions have. The AXE has a short delay before attacking. The Shovel has a longer delay before you actually attack with it. In short you can kill more people in a shorter amount of time with the AXE than with the Shovel. But the Shovel weighs slightly less than the AXE which means you can run faster and get away from trouble quicker than the AXE can. The AXE, in my opinion is an easier weapon to master because it is the closest melee weapon in the American version that has similiarities to the knife. Such similarities are the delay, feel ect. The Shovel is very different from the Knife and the Axe in delay, running speed and feel. Though stat wise the Shovel would be a better choice because of the weight compared to the AXE. I would recommend you buy the AXE to start with and when you feel comfortable with that you can go for the Shovel.
Hope this helps.
Happy Halloween! -

What is the difference between the shovel and the battle axe (except the look)? I can't find it in the forum or weapons site. Please dont come with stupid answer like "the shovel is made of wood" or whatever.
