The super shotgun layer that contains the firing sprites has been set with an incorrect timing, making it appear briefly over the reloading sprite.Firing both barrels simultaneously is possible on double trigger models, as a tactic by large game hunters for sheer stopping power, however this doubles the recoil and is hard on both the shooter and the weapon. While the Super Shotgun in Doom unloads both barrels in one shot, the main purpose of a double-barreled shotgun in real life is to allow the second barrel to be fired in rapid succession to the first without reloading the weapon.Redrawn version of SSG in the Final Doom for the Sony PlayStation Regardless, the SSG is a very potent and powerful weapon in the right hands, and it serves as a great alternative for the bigger weapons when facing lone stronger enemies such as barons of hell or bigger groups of weaker monsters.

This is usually a problem when starting a level and the super shotgun is picked up before the regular shotgun. The super shotgun is also a bad choice for dealing with lone humanoids scattered in mazes. If shells are the only plentiful ammo, or if sniping at a distance is required, it is advisable to switch back to the shotgun unlike other hitscan attacks which only spread horizontally, the SSG's pellets also spread vertically. The wide spread of the pellets makes the super shotgun ineffective and wasteful at longer ranges. The blast-and-dodge and circle strafing tactics described for the shotgun are even more useful for the super shotgun. Some speedrunners, however, take advantage of the reload time by quickly circlestrafing to line up multiple monsters within the 'damage cone'. The SSG is even slower to reload than the shotgun (approximately twice the time), meaning that any enemy not killed by the first shot will have plenty of time to retaliate. It is often sensible to prefer the super shotgun over the rocket launcher in such situations the super shotgun is similarly powerful, shells are more plentiful than rockets, and a short-range rocket blast can harm the player. The devastating firepower afforded by the super shotgun can enable the player to hold his own against crowds of humanoids or tough monsters ( Hell knights, arachnotrons, mancubi). By contrast, a single shotgun burst is less reliable at dispatching an imp in one shot or a demon in two unless it is dead on target. One well-aimed blast from a super shotgun almost always kills two imps, one demon, or one spectre, and often inflicts additional damage to nearby monsters. The super shotgun is thus nearly three times as damaging as the standard shotgun per shot, a good bargain since it only uses twice as much ammo each time. Each pellet still does 5-15 points of damage (for a total of 100-300 points of damage per shot, provided that all pellets hit the target). However, whereas the shotgun fires 7 pellets in each shot, a super shotgun blast has 20 pellets.

Just under this sculpture, the bases of the bookends each feature an imprinted symbol: the Mark of the Slayer, and the DOOM Eternal logo. In the detail shots above, you can see its fine, ornate markings and the Sentinel script along its barrel. Its Polyresin material was sculpted and painted to realistically look like metal, wood, and leather. This pair of bookends features an exquisitely-crafted replica of the weapon as it appears in DOOM Eternal, Meat Hook and all.
