Most Kickass shotgun.

[NOT WILL]

saiga 12 in badcompany 2 beta headshots at 100+ yards

 

[EvilMaggot]

Hmm. I think this one does quite well...

Considering it's a real weapon! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4ebtj1jR7c

I've seen it in use as one of the weapons in Red Steel, though that doesn't make it look as impressive as the real-world footage does...

that thing is so bad ass, tried it in "Killing Floor" and i think its in MW2 too

 

[AkJay]

The Auto-Shotgun from F.E.A.R. 2

 

[IamQ]

By far, my favorite.

Is that a silencer on his shotgun? WUSS!

 

[EboMan7x]

the one in painkiller.
It can be your standard shotgun, but it also freezes people, so you can ensure that it works.

 

[WolfLordAndy]

The jackhammer from Planetside. Sure double barrel shotguns are great, especially firing both at once.

But what about a triple barrled shotgun, that can unload all 3 at once!

 

[HerrBobo]

The shot gun for FEAR1. Fantastic.

 

[mr.aravaro]

the super shotgun from doom 2

Yeah, pretty much the AA-12 and nothing else.

End of really, shame they didn't make it as good as it really is in MW2.

Real shotgun.. I'd say it'd have to be the Benelli 12-gauge line. Cause Benelli knows their shottys. I've shot mossberg 12ga, and a winchester double barreled sawed off, which was bad ass!, But my benelli is just better than both of them.. thinking about buying a barrel and sawing it off..

 

[Koeryn]

The 8 gauge from Halo.

Did you just read that?

8. fukken. gauge.

that's 4.2416 / 8^(1/3) = 2.1208 cm
ALMOST A FULL INCH OF BUCKSHOT IN YOUR FACE, AND IT HOLDS TWELVE ROUNDS!

granted, it looks like shit, but the bore diameter makes up for it.

The Halo shotgun (at least from Combat Evolved, dunno if it changed), is based on a South African combat shotgun, the Neostead 2000, a bottom barrel, double feed tube combat shotgun, which I believe is in use by the SAS (though I could be wrong).

Spoiler

And I like the Benelli M4 in L4D, but the Spas 12 in Half-Life 2 is pretty damned sweet. Even better if you up the pellet count to what it's actually SUPPOSED to be. (Law Enforcement/Civlian 00 Buck generally has between 8-14 pellets per shell, there's only 6 in the HL2 shotgun).

 

[Yumi_and_Erea]

The single-barrel one from Serious Sam.
Best gun in the game.

They've got that in Killing Floor, as of the last free content thingie!

BWAHAHAHAHAHA boomboomboom EVERYTHING IS DEAD!

That's what it's like.

Seconded. The sound of firing is a little weak, but when you slow time with 2x faster reload time...oh baby.

Also the standard shotgun in TF2 (with the Soldier, Heavy, Engineer and Pyro). Satisfying to fire, and the reload sound is somehow like candy to my ears. Bioshock's shotgun is also pretty sweet.

 

[beneathawindowsseven]

Lynch's shotgun from Kane and Lynch.

If you play as lynch, you start the game with it and you can end the game with it its that effective.

Not a bad game when you give it a chance either.

 

[Rahheemme]

I like the Spas-12. Just in general.

Actually, I once saw a picture of a double-barrel pump-action. The fact that it exists both excites and infuriates me.
