Double barrel shotgun

[Abe]

Am I the only one who finds it offensive that you can't fire both barrels at once?

I mean, what's the point of a side by side if you can't pull both triggers and let off a hail-storm of buckshot at point blank range and gib a pack of bugs

[SpaceMan62]

As awesome as that would be, I can't imagine what I would even fire such a powerful blast into besides Praetorians and Dreadnoughts.

[Abe]

Lol well what's wrong with Praetorian and dreads then 😁 seems like two good targets to me. Also whenever a narrow tunnel is packed full of bugs

Point is, a double barrel in a video game MUST have a feature to fire both simultaneously, otherwise it is sacrilege

[Liobuster]

fun fact it at least has been somewhat possible by real fast clicking to empty them in almost synchronous blasts

[ZDWario]

The fire speed upgrade makes no sense and should just be in the base shotgun with something else in its place.

[Abe]

Exactly, replace fire speed with double blast. Or make it baseline and come up with something more interesting

[Syncourt]

There isnt a key specific for use for a double blast or special function. The best you can do without that is make the fire rate fast enough that the user can pretty much choose to create 2 shots close enough together to form a double shot, or space them out however desired.

[Abe]

That's how it works in payday 2 I believe. Theres literally no delay between shots so you can fire as fast as you can click.

...buuuuuut I'd still rather a double shot mode, seems more fun that way

[Flytrap]

Honestly, that fire speed upgrade should be replaced with "able to fire both barrels at once"
Firing speed on a double barrel is stupid and useless, firing both barrels is not

Not useless because it adds such firing speed that it basically allows a double shot, which allows you to choose to fire 1 or 2. When you shoot grunts you don't need to fire both barrels. You only need to fire both against stronger enemies.

A) not even close

B) you wouldn't use it on a single grunt, youd use it when you wanted two shells with one click, which would be very frequently

A) Double trigger fires shots 0.11s apart. Close enough to a double shot.

I agree; Doom has taught us way back in the day that a Super Shotgun should be able to fire both barrels. Whilst I appreciate Brutal Doom's ability to single shot its barrels, both at once is the classic function.

The choices for scout should also be Assault Rifle/SMGs as Primary and Bolt-Action/Shotgun as secondary, to actually give more loadout options. As it stands, the scout simply has less loadout options since they're mutually exclusive.

Saw "barrel" in the title and had to click. Disappointed the thread's not about barrels.

What is this showing exacting? Unless I missed something, only watched 18 minutes in. Looked like the same underwhelming shotgun I've always seen, even when the burn applied.(which looked like it failed more than applied)

Nuks feel like they do a shotguns job better than a shotgun from my experience using both.

That the shotgun single fire combat does just fine. Though I didn't have double trigger equipped, you can see plenty of opportunities to use faster shots or (double shots) but having the ability to do pretty much both of them at any rate of fire you want, even if up to a minimum of 1 shot per 0.11s is still much better than just having double shot.

I'd have no issue with an overclock being added for a double shot function, or if that 0.11s isn't fast enough for you, increase the firing speed even further (but I bet the 0.11 sec minimum delay between shots is more there to balance it with other mods of the same tier).

Whether the NUKs are better or not is beside the point. I use both and I'll use anything that's viable just for the fun of it.
