Do you think that the double barrel shotgun is overused in gaming?

I've seen many games with their own version of the double barrel shotgun and but I think it's completely overused. The use of double barrel shotguns in war has been rare since the start of the 20th century so it's about as relevant as lever action rifles. The only thing that design would really be good for is a pocket shotgun which would be used as more of a "sidearm" (like a pistol or grenade). Although instead of doing the whole two shots per reload or having both rounds fire simultaneously when you pull the trigger, something I think developers could do is the "double tap" (where you pull the trigger one of the barrels fires and when you release it the other does).

but if you want to keep the overall aesthetic, one original design concept might be a double barrel grenade launcher. And that would be more appropriate because grenade launchers usually have smaller magazines than shotguns (in fact a lot of single shot grenade launchers).

I always enjoy the shotguns in video games, such as the D2 sawn off double barrel shotgun from Far Cry 5, The Bull silencer shotgun from Far Cry 4, and Guts from Cyberpunk.

Your post reminds me of doom, original one was so good

How do you get one on Mario Kart Wii?

I dont believe so. It takes skill to get a kill with that's why it's favoured.

Nah they're awesome. I don't really play a lot of COD-like games but I love it in Doom games.
