Pistol

The Pistol is a Weapon that appears to be a weaker version of the Shotgun. This Weapon uses its own unique form of Ammo, plus can be fired at a much faster rate than the Shotgun. Due to inexperience with making .MDL files, the Pistol looks exactly like a Shotgun.

The player carries it in the default loadout, using the same weapon slot normally reserved for the Shotgun, which now has been placed under the Double-Barrelled Shotgun button (referred to as the Super Shotgun in this modification). This means the player can press the same key to toggle the two different Shotgun types. The player now also spawns with both Shotguns, they only need to find Shells.

Note that the firing sound does not work properly in-game, instead giving a message about it being a "stereo sample", which shall be displayed every time the Weapon is fired. This is because the audio file was likely too high of a sample rate.

Also note that the obituary message has a spelling error. Due to the closed source nature of the modification, this cannot be fixed.

This Weapon was made by Douglas H. King.

Strategy
Mostly, this just is intended to be a standard loadout Weapon like in Doom. Upon finding better Weapons, the player will often find this one is entirely useless, thereby making this more of a novelty than a practical choice.

Advantages

 * Fires at a faster rate than the Shotgun. Being rapid and hitscan, the lower rate of damage might be less important for an accurate player.

Disadvantages

 * With such a low rate of damage, it is almost immediately outclassed by any other Weapon, including the regular Shotgun or even the Axe.
 * This Weapon will make even Grunts slower to kill. Note they do not supply further Clips.
 * Message spam will be present unless the PISTOL.WAV file is replaced with something else or converted properly.

Death Messages

 * "Player" chewed on "Attacker"'s Smith & Weason
