4 shotgun shells

The shotgun shells ammo pickup provides four shells for the shotgun or super shotgun (eight at the I'm Too Young To Die skill level).

Doom's shotgun shells are magical. When a sergeant shoots at you, his shotgun fires four pellets. If you kill him and pick up his weapon, your shots will contain seven pellets. If you use the ammo for the super shotgun instead, you will fire twenty pellets in every double-barrelled blast.

Each pellet does between 5 and 15 hit points of damage (determined using Doom's pseudorandom number generator), the same as a bullet.
