Forum:Survivors and their guns

I remember reading on the wiki page for the survivors that each one had a sort of "specialization" with a certain gun, i.e., if you play as Francis and use a shotgun, it takes less time to reload and less shots to take down special infected. When trying to bring up the page to prove it to a friend, I realized that the part saying this was gone.

Is this still true, or was it removed for balance issues?
