I viewed the YouTube promotional video for 2.4 and while nearly all the weapons had undergone changes --- all of them good --- I was surprised to see that the shotgun still looks like a wand.

I like the way it looks up front --- a mean, multi-barelled weapon --- but from the first-person perspective, it lacks horizontal depth. It's like you are holding a stick.

Don't get me wrong, I like its design but may you guys make it feel more heavier? It doesn't look like a sci-fi shotgun when viewed from above.

Just an observation, not meaning to be pushy.

I agree- the current one looks terrible. You might like the new one by Doc-Pyton better. Personally, I love it.

Screenshot?

I might not check back on this thread until it's old and dusty, so pre-emptive thanks.

I agree 100% that Doc's new shotgun is awesome and a huge huge improvement over the old. This one actually looks like a shotgun and not a plastic toy.

I really like the new weapon models for 2.4 and beyond. I'd still like to see new models for the laser, hagar, and crylink as well.

Nice work Doc!

The only thing that bothers me is the shot origin. It comes out of the middle of the gun :-\

It's nice. But I rather have it shorter and fatter. And remove the clip.

I think it's hardcoded and the model don't use the same origin than the previous one.

Yea, shotguns shouldn't have a clip. Also, if it were made shorter and fatter, the shot origin might work better.

It's very good but looks too SWAT-ish. Not futuristic at all. The first design is ok for the theme of this game, just make it bulkier.
