I can informally confirm having seen that page (Google's cache has the basic structure, but not the image), and it was Doom's shotgun. I can't find another one on the internet, but there's a similar model here. [1] Nothing on Ebay for 'tootsietoy' and 'dakota', or 'shotgun' or 'gun', which is a shame because it would be groovy to own such a thing, especially if zombies and hellspawn actually do attack our world. -Ashley Pomeroy 21:00, 16 Aug 2005 (UTC)

A thread on the Doomworld forums suggests that, in v1.1, even unused shotguns gave 4 shells each.  Can anyone confirm this?    Ryan W 06:54, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Opinion?[edit]

"The pump-action single-barrel shotgun is one of the most versatile and useful weapons in the Doom player's arsenal.". There are people who believe the shotgun sucks and is worthless in Doom. GhostlyDeath 16:33, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

Versions[edit]

I found out that the shotgun sprites are still untouched in Doom v1.5 beta, but they have been shortened in v1.6 beta. I found the IWADs from here. Is that enough of prove, or should the version (v1.6) be removed from the article, because no 100% certainty can be had about the version? --Jartapran 00:19, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
