@hj I dunno. I found the Shadow Warrior 2 shotgun fine. The Doom 3 shotgun even sounds like a peashooter.

@matrix at least Doom 3 shotgun is reloaded like a sane gun and has decent firerate, does it?

SW2, Tube-fed shotgun: shoots ok for most of the part, but reload is actually just a very long animation, so if you saw your character load one shell into a gun and swap it to another - it doesn't count, reload is cancelled altogether.

SW2, Multi-barrelled:
1) By default there's HUGE delay betweet shooting each barel, like Lo Wang is like "hold on, it needs to cool down first".
2) Using multi-shot gem allows you to shoot all or most barrells at once but imposes such a huge reload time it's unbearable:

Lo Wang: [shoots "Stick of Doom"]
Lo Wang: ...
Lo Wang: ...
Lo Wang: ...
@matrix Lo Wang: Wasn't i supposed to do something here?
Lo Wang: ...
Lo Wang: Oh yeah! I gotta reload!
