Are there any mods that replace Doom 3's current shotgun with the version from the alpha? Google has yielded no results.

I've never seen one. Someone created some kind of "Alpha mod" some time ago, but I think it just replaced certain textures and sounds. Can't recall what it was even called, but browse Doom 3 Files and you'll find it eventually.

I have to say that the alpha shotgun looked much better than the version in Doom 3 final, though. Several little things like that were changed for no sensible reason.

The Alpha Mod didn't include any of the original models from the real alpha, just some sounds, maps, and textures. The reason is pretty simple, too: the md5 format is completely different from what it was during the alpha's lifetime and there are no compatible tools or converters for the old format.

It's kind of sad, because I also think the old shotgun looked better than the newer one.
