* As with many other weapons of Doom, the shotgun's early FPS view weapon [[sprite]]s ({{c|SHTG}}, v1.0) are not shown on the screen nearly in their entirety. The whole sprites can only be viewed in a level or resource editor. The extra pieces of the shotgun sprites were finally cut off for v.1.6.

→Notes: mv screens
The shotgun's main disadvantages are the slow rate of reloading (which can leave the player vulnerable to counterattacks, especially in tight corridors), the pellet spread which weakens it at long range and the fact that the gun is difficult to use against tougher enemies such as a [[baron of Hell]] for inexperienced players, especially in large numbers. However, these problems are less extreme than for the super shotgun. If shells are the only plentiful ammo, the shotgun is less wasteful and fires faster if one needs to snipe or deal with lone humanoids scattered in mazes.

* The images for the shotgun in Doom are of those of a toy shotgun called the "TootsieToy Dakota", manufactured by the Strombecker Corporation of America.
