The Scattergun (concept) image - Exceed Haven mod for Quake

As most weapons adopted theoretically superior
modern technology, conventional ballistics all
but disappeared from the battlefield. The
Scattergun was one of the few survivors, thanks to

its cheap cost, simplicity, and nearly unrivaled
raw firepower. Though its effectiveness at long
ranges is questionable and then some, being hit
by one upclose is popularly likened to colliding
with a wall of bullets.

The long cylinder slung beneath the barrels is a
2-in-1 ammunition cartridge and counterweight
system. Without this mechanism to dampen the
Scatturgun's natural kick, the weapon is
capable of litterly tearing its user's arm
off.

(Note: the playermodel holding the Scattergun is
nothing but a mockup. Boo.)
