Surprised he didn't mention "auto-shotguns" as part of alternative designs. Being able to fire 8 successive rounds was mighty useful in close-quarters of some Battlefield 2 multiplayer maps. (after appropriate gun upgrades of course).

I always loved getting the Pancor Jackhammer in the first two Fallout games, honestly I prefer the automatics to the old double barrel.

The best double barreled shotgun of any FPS was the "Sawed Off" in Blood. A lot of double barreled shotguns in games, especially nowadays fuck around with a overly long reload animation (seriously, do you need to grab the barrels from the top and pull it open? Is it rusted shut??).
Not in Blood, reloads as fast as the Doom shotgun takes to pump and you can fire one or both barrels, and firing both would usually propel zombies and zealots across the room in a spray of blood.

Good times.
