Good old shotguns. I've never seen a game that knew quite what to do with them. Just played old Doom 2 earlier today. The double-barreled shotgun does about as much damage as the rocket launcher. Go figure.
@GreggD: A great weapon is measured by its chance to splat. I sorta wish you could squoosh demons but it's impossible, of course.
The buckshot is sort of like this crazy fountain, which is a bit weird since it uses the same shells as its tamer single-barrel cousin. It totally should turn the imp into paste.
Reminds me that I modded Wolfenstein 3D when I was a kid to make all the death animations splatter the guys. The SS guys turned into a fountain of gore and only left behind a pair of boots. Wolf 3D was the shit.
@ahoodedfigure: Dude, I bought a mod floppy at the dollar store for Wolf 3D that did the same thing! Do you still have the files kicking around, somewhere?
