Let's talk about the game that has your favorite shotgun. Pic related is why I still pick up and play TF2 once in awhile, not many multiplayer games know how to balance a shotgun in that sweet spot between it being garbage and being overpowered.

Oh boy! Shotgun talk.
Killing Floor (both games) have some really satisfying shotguns.
The SPAS-12 is a cool looking shotgun as well, but it really subjective depending on how it's implemented.
The AA12 is a force of God and just wrecks everything in any game, since the actual gun is so Goddamn ridiculous.

The Boomstick in KF2 is a beast. It staggers fucking everything and it's point-blank meatshots are viable right trhough to Hell on Earth difficulty.
The new update that will allow players to upgrade weapons further via the trader will hopefully make it even more viable late-game when the hordes are thicker.
And they're about to add a four barreled shotgun called the Doomstick in a new update which could provide quite the erection.

KF2 is really starting to feel like a proper game now. The Endless mode and the holdout challenges mid-wave and the new bosses are adding up to being something worth playing.
The incendiary shotgun is nice, not that powerful but the DOT is a nice option for support since it's a cross-perk weapon.
And I'm no glad the M99 is coming back. The Railgun they have in there as the tier4 weapon for sharpshooter is just shit.

In real life, jackhammer was such a huge piece of shit that nobody wanted it. It had some cool ideas but overall it was a shit gun. However every edgy game would license the gun from them, and that's their whole bread and butter. There were like 3 prototypes built, none of them got anywhere remotely close to being a practical weapon.

I mean its whole gimmick is that it's a revolver, but it's impossible to unhinge or swap out the drum for quick loading. At this point you're much better off with normal shotguns - more compact and quicker to reload. Throw in the fact that many shotguns can be mag-fed and reloading them is only a matter of swapping the mag, like it is with a rifle. Additionally, it was made in a bullpup configuration and being a revolver it turned out extremely rear-heavy, borderline unusable. But hey, with a special plastic insert you can turn the drum into a ridiculously grisly landmine. What a complete fucking waste.

>using slugs
The damage tradeoff compared to 000 buckshot is way too high since it fires one single bullet instead of 12 pellets, and it downgrades your shotgun into a situational weapon against shields and sometimes snipers. It's only viable when going into heists where the sniper can be really far like in Big Bank. Even flechette is more versatile, as it also fires 12 pellets at the expense of a little damage tradeoff and no shield piercing.
Just get a knockdown skill and/or use HE/Dragon's breath to add crowd control (with a slight preference to HE for quick dozer armor destruction) on your secondary while keeping 000 on your primary, you'd be just as efficient against shields.

Shotguns in rainbow six vegas and vegas 2 were pretty good, aside from the fact they all had basically the same stats, good damage accuracy and spread even at fairly longer ranges. Also shotguns in counter strike, if the rng for the spread was on your side you could snipe people with the fucking pump action.

I like what they did with the double barrel in 2. It's not quite as heavy feeling as in 1 but the faster reload (plus the perk bonus for that) and tighter spread means you can use it as a main weapon early/mid game and I LOVE IT. Shame I see so many faggots and weebs using that disgusting rockabilly character with that voice and writing that incites violence. Reverend Alberts is the only one for me in 2.

Project Brutality
The Shotgun had three ammo types:
Buckshot was perfect for everything you'd expect it to be perfect for.
Slugs were perfect for sniping enemies across the map in a game that was never made with long range sniping in mind.
Dragon Breath left little trails of fire on impact, which meant you could hit certain enemies by aiming at the ceiling above them and raining fire down on top of them, and it was great.
The Super Shotgun was just fucking lunatic, though. My fondest memory was learning I could dual wield SSGs. I opened a door and fired both of them at the same time. I didn't see what was on the other side of the door but it exploded into a fine pink mist.
Then the recoil of firing both SSGs at once sent me careening backwards into a pitfall trap where I immediately died.
It was glorious.

I heard Ms. Foster's on the way. At least the french girl has a nice voice and you can put a mask on her. And she likes metal and abandoned places and punk music not being specified, which are at least respectable hobbies. The dyke is ugly as sin but her voice is even worse and her writing is pure reddit.

It's true, she is definitely bearable compared to the personification of Tumblr. I can accept the punk style on chicks, but it gives me red signals when it comes to the woman herself. I'm glad that her bio says she just looks "anti-establishment" but that it just reflects her hobbies and not her behaviour. Also I think she's okay looking enough to not need a mask.
To stay on topic, I remembered the quad shotgun from Bulletstorm gave you extra points if you juggled with an enemy's corpse with it. Pretty fun, you could blow limbs off with a single shot or make them fly with it.

I don't think I've ever actually seen her completely face, since my friend plays her and always has it covered up after remarking a dislike for her piercing(s). Overall I like 2 a lot more than expected, I had been skeptical because several of the redesigns struck me as retarded (they still do, particularly the FP) but the new animations are great, most of the trash mobs in particular look and move way better, the bloat is actually a threat because his head doesn't instapop. I don't like most of the new map aesthetics other than weather effects and the like. I do miss the 80's b-horror feeling. I expect to play both games still.
Anyway, on topic. While not the best shottie, the HSG was my go to side arm when playing demo in 1 because of the low weight. The decent reload and 12-deep mag just make it perfectly dependable, and the spread change is occasionally useful. Oh and 2's boomstick with its absurd knockback that you can use to dodge attacks if you altfire it in midair. Useful and fun.

Oh yes, I loved that shotgun more than the semi-auto combat shotgun when I played ss class. The combat shotgun only had 6 shells and reloaded even slower than the basic shotgun for some reason, making me hate it, because it isn't as practical as the HSG during situations where the AA-12 wasn't needed.
Good thing it's actually more viable in 2, though the DP-12 is also great.

The regular shotgun in Resident Evil 2 goes from making a humble "boof" with a puff of smoke when you fire it to a "BLAM" with a huge muzzle blast and enough recoil to shove Leon backwards after you find the upgrade parts. Very satisfying.

Warframe is so weird, because it has some guns that feel like a fucking peashooter, and others that feel like a mini orgasm each time you fire them.
