Description:
UAC has been asking itself about a new weapon. Something that brings glory to UAC's Standard Shotgun but at the same time make it stronger than the Shotgun but weaker than Super Shotgun. And so, a new weapon is born. 6-Gauge Slug Shotgun has been made to counter this taste. By recycling the Doom 64 shotgun into a powerful weapon that can shoot a blow easily.

Seems like the credits for the sounds, or the sounds themselves, will need an update.

The description also mentions that it's supposed to be weaker than the super shotgun, but it seems more powerful. It's pretty easy to gib some of the weak enemies, which in itself looks a bit strange for a shotgun to do.

I gotcha, but the thing that it's *SLUG* Shotgun. It is supposed to be this powerful.

However, I have a problem on this gib thing that I couldn't understand what's the problem. :S

Technically speaking, a shotgun slug is one large solid bullet rather than a load of shot, so it's not appropriate for this to have a spread attack like a buckshot cartridge. This should only fire one projectile/tracer per attack if it's using a slug. (The attack is also missing a decal assignment.)

Also, no ammo is included with the weapon upon pickup.

Speaking of ammo, it might help if this included its own separate ammo type (which could be as simple as the standard shells translated to a different color --perhaps green). This would help to balance the weapon against the other 2 standard shotguns, and help explain the difference in damage values.


To remove gib? Add "+NOEXTREMEDEATH" to the bullet puff it uses. (In this case, you probably want to create a "new" puff that inherits from the original puff, add "+NOEXTREMEDEATH" to that, and have your weapon use the new puff instead of the original.)

I've just submitted a weapon that uses slugs as custom ammo, feel free to take from that if you want, I used the doom64 shell box and pistol clip for the graphics, changed the colours a bit, and I also replaced the word "shells" on the side of the box to "slugs".

What's the status on this? Any updates regarding MagicWazard's feedback?

Closed to due lack of feedback.
