Is the XM1014 fully automatic?

It is semi-automatic — one shell per click with no pump between shots, up to its 171 RPM cap. That follow-up speed is the whole reason to pay $2,000 instead of $1,050 for a Nova.

When is the XM1014 worth buying over the Nova?

When the enemy will have armor (its 80% penetration is the best of the shotguns), when you expect multi-man pushes into your position, or on retake-heavy CT setups. For farming a plain unarmored eco, the Nova delivers the same $900 rewards for half the price.

How many shots does the XM1014 need to kill?

Up close, one to two clicks depending on pellet connection — its 20-damage pellets are the weakest in the class, so full one-shot kills are rarer than with the MAG-7 or Nova. Its 171 RPM means the second load arrives almost immediately, keeping practical time-to-kill excellent.
