Is it just me or over/under double barrelshotguns are kind of rare? It's always side-by-side and usually sawed-off.
army of darkness cemented in the nerd consciousness that the double barrelshould be horizontal
>>736846923True
>not having a six-barrel shotgun
>>736846554Side by side shows off that it's double barrel more effectively in first person
>>736846554I would imagine that it's mainly because side-by-sides look cooler. But side-by-sides are also arguably more practical than over-and-unders when it comes to hunting so it does make some sense that they're a more common sight in videogames.
>>736847194This also a lot of people who don't understand guns can't tell the difference between an underslung barrel and a tube magazine.
>>736846554even more underrepresented are over under combo rifles
When it comes to double-barrels, I've always slightly preferred the look of over/unders more. Like >>736847194 said though it's probably just because it's more recognisable as a shotgun to most players due to its simplicity and ubiquityI'll never say no to a good shotgun though
>>736847421>right click to fire both barrels
>double barrel shotgun does more damage than an semi-automatic shotgun, which in turn does more damage than an automatic shotgunLooking at you Payday 2.
>>736847421>>736847817You're right because I didn't realize that was what the bottom tube was for until right now
>>736847956This makes complete sense for game balancing purposes. Games don't need to be realistic to be fun.
>>736846554What about those crazy 40mm pump actions?
>>736848204That's a grenade launcher.
>>736847956>automatic shotguns are gas operated, so some energy is spent pushing the gas piston instead of the projectie>semi-autos are recoil operated, some energy is consumed by inertia but not as much as with gas system>double barrel has no reload mechanism so all energy is used to push the bullet
>>736849049I reckon that some grenade launcher ammos are just big slugs.
>>736849738Well, yeah, but... Oh, well.
>>736846554over & under for full barrelside barrel for sawed off
>>736846554There's always Mag-7 and AA12.
>>736849738>>736850241Are there slug shells for 40mm launchers? I know shot shells exist.
>>736850241i wonder if you can create a musket ball sized buckshot cartridge for a grenade launcher.why stop at one barrel, how about a double barreled grenade launcher with musket sized buckshot.
>>736850241>Fuck you and fuck my shoulder.
>>736850387>Mag-7 and AA12I think single-shot shotguns are rarer.
>>736846554O/U are common in hunting or slavslop games. ISH-24 or whatever.
>>73685078440mm doesn't have much recoil actually
>>736847956dude video game logic lmao...mario eats SHROOMS!!!
>>736847956simple, the DB is 8 gauge while the auto shotty is 20 gauge.
>>736846554Not a true over under unless it fires two different sized rounds. I had an old savage over under that was my grandfather's, 12 gauge on top and 22 on the bottom.
>>736847175how do you load this
>>736846554The pistol and shotgun combo wasn’t bad. The shotgun was blasting through players in lobbies when they ran up on me.
>>736846554dunno but the D2 in Far Cry 4 is fun af, definitely inspired by Doom
>>736846554First time I heard about these was when reading about Stalker's cut content, which included TOZ-34.
>>736854512Very carefully
>>736854417Don't even have to go that far. They could be the same gauge and even then it would still make sense. I don't think people grasp how much gas is lost in cycling the gun. There is a reason people still like break actions to this day for their actual use and not just for their looks. When you're shooting at something 100m out in the sky as it's flying, velocity matters a lot.
Some Stalker mods include a sawed off TOZ 34
>>736846554They're hunting weapons, so they're going to be of limited use outside hunting shootans and therefore obscure. Even more so are single-shot shotguns and combination guns.
>>736849606THAT'S NOT HOW IT WORKS!THE LOADING MECHANISM DOESN'T DIRECTLY AFFECT HOW MUCH FIREPOWER IS BEHIND EACH SHOT!
>>736847956That's a good thing because I like the pumping animation and sound + hearing the spent shell hitting the ground and rolling, so that way I can still use it later in the game.Upgrade paths for weapons in vidya should always exist in the same category, I don't want to switch to some fancy lazer gizmo or some gay alien gun late game because it does more damage. Give me a .38 snubnose early game and a Colt Anaconda late game.
>>736858040>They're hunting weapons, so they're going to be of limited use outside hunting shootans
>>736858750>''I kill you GI''
>>736847956Well yeah otherwise the AA12 would be the best gun in every single game, like it is in real life.
>>736858040>a gun that can kill a deer or a bear won't work on a squishy human.I see
>>736861795What should Rising Storm 3 be about?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fi4I03vEuYo
>>736848097>making the gun useless is completely epic win for muh metaanalytic antifun mental illness
>>736862081I think he meant the practicality of it in a combat situation. Why use a double barrel when you could have a pump action or semi-auto shotgun in the same gauge that's probably the same size overall but with a bigger magazine size?And then there's the fact that shotguns themselves just aren't that practical against other humans in combat scenarios compared to rifles. The rise of drone warfare may change this in the future, but I'm a bit skeptical on that when some groups in Ukraine focused on making special multi-shot rounds for their rifles instead of using shotguns.
>>736862154Some Jarhead or Blackhawk down shit.
>>736847956That's why I put the comp on my edc. I increased the damage but lost maneuverability and have more sway. I have to make my shots count.
