I'm sorry if I offend any chainguns fans but I'm just speaking my mind. It just irks me everytime this happens and this happens a LOT with the things that I am interested in. The outcome is always the same - I discover something early in its creation, I get genuinely attracted to it, then that thing becomes popular, and that thing gives in to popularity and then its soul is gone. Some people might call me a hipster but that's okay. It's hard not to be judged when I'm constantly looking for original things to appreciate. That said, I mean no disrespect to this mod because a deep part inside of me just knows that perhaps one day shotguns will come out with something genuinely fresh and if that happens, I'd be more than welcome to admit that I'm a shotguns fan again. But until then, I'm staying away from this chainguns rubbish.

Marrub still included the older versions for historical sake. I still play the older versions (though I can't play version 1; I lag out every time).

So you can download those and keep playin'

I mean, SHOTGUNS MASTER RACE

Now I issue the ultimate challenge: write a post about this mod without using the words "Shotgun" or "Boomstick", except when referring to the name of the mod, "Shotguns.pk7"

Still waiting for SuperShotguns.pk7

EDIT: can you remove the kamikazes? They take away from the SHOTGUNS, which should be the main focus of the mod.

These are SHOTGUN kamikazes. They rush to you, pump you full of lead and die from recoil (At least that's how I imagine it).

there are various balance reasons for both of those, the nonexistance of supershotguns.pk7 and the existence of the kamikazes
the super shotgun is a very direct upgrade to the shotgun, even if it takes a bit longer to reload it, and I personally dislike it for that
the kamikazes are there to reward you with extra ammunition should you or something else kill it, and harm you slightly more than a normal shotgun if you're not able to avoid it
I had a lot of problems with balancing damage taken due to, well, SHOTGUNS and all so I added a random factor to it to make it more playable
deep thoughts about shotgun balance

I... hope my wall of text is clearly acknowledged as just me trying to be funny (and most probably failing).
