Crossposting from Zan:

This is a small joke weapon I made in a few hours. An eight-barreled shotgun. And you thought the quad-barrel was overkill :P

The sprites are a little shaky since I had to extend them in Photoshop. I also know that the hand is cut off for a frame, but it doesn't really matter since it goes by so quickly. There are over 25 frames just for reloading since it takes so long. Credits to perkristian for the shotgun shell.

LOL

Wow, I really like it, it looks hardcore. I'd suggest putting it in a wad that's insanely tough as well.

[Unholypimpin]

I wouldnt want to have to carry that shotgun around everywhere **.

Good luck firing that thing in real life without breaking your whole body.

The marine suit can withstand the impact from recoil.

64 barreled shotgun, NOW.

[omegamer]

Yeah 64 barrels shooting...ROCKETS!!!!!!!!
Might be sick^^

[TwinBeast]

There is a real 8 barreled shotgun too... I think it would be nice to see it in Doom.

[General Rainbow Bacon]

I don't think that one fires all 8 barrels at once though.

[Untamed64]

Looks like it fires two at a time

[Avoozl]

If you were to name it by Doom logic then a multy barreled shotgun would be named based on superiority (super, ultra, mega, hyper) rather than the number of barrels.

I should probably stop over thinking certain details. :P

[arkore]

"(super, ultra, mega, hyper)"

I feel that "mega" should come before ultra.

Lets get a shotgun then for each of those, increasing the barrel number by four each prefix.

[arkore]

and why wouldn't you just have increments of two? why four? i mean, you start off with two for Super, and then go up another two for the next tier. 2, 4, 6, 8

[Xaser]

Hell naw -- powers of two! Go 2 -> 4 -> 8 -> 16 -> 32, for maximum awesome.

[NaturalTvventy]

I LOL'd as well. 4shot a cybie.

[molten_]

Dat reloading animation.

I thought going by double the last would make more sense.

Yeah, you're probably right.

[schwerpunk]

Nothing short of revolutionary.

Anyone feel like making a short WAD that incorporates this?

Blasphyx on Zan came up with a slight tweak, so here's a new link for anyone who's interested enough:

What's New:
-Pick up sprite
-Fixed random sound error
-Looks smoother
-New obituary and pickup message

I downloaded the second version and tried it out on the Cyberdemon in MAP32 of Doom 2. It's an awesome weapon and it's a great idea.

Also, another way to fire 8 shotgun shells at once is to have two quadruple barrel shotguns in one hand each.

Thanks! Look for the 16 barreled shotgun in a store near you

Yea, but where would the fun be in that? :P

[Armaetus]

Would be a handy weapon in slaughter maps like Holy Hell or Deus Vult.

[JMAA TV]

Maybe quite out of topic, but we could much try to break the laws of ZDoom physics with a Supershotgun that shoots with infinite barrels.
