Boom stick!

been thinking how powerful this weapon is, kills zombies,shotgun guys,Chaingunner, and demons with 1 blast. shouldn't the Double barrel shotgun be able to gib a monster if shot at point blank range, just don't seem to get any gratification using the this over the pump, what you Doomers think about having the DB gib monsters if close enough *hello*

[Ledmeister]

Play Quake.

There should be sprites for when you blast someone in the face. The could get powder-tattooing and the top of their skull could fly off, splattering brains everywhere.

Presumably it can't gib something because of how hitscan bullets work.

[rustyslacker]

No, g6672D, that's not it. To try it, make a .deh that changes zombies' health to 1, and then shoot the zombie with a pistol. It gibs.

The reason it doesn't cause a monster to gib death is because that death animation is triggered by a significant value difference between the monster's hit points and the amount of damage being dealt (typically, if the amount of damage is more than twice needed to kill it). Even the player can be gibbed (and not only from telefragging), it's happened to me in some slaughter maps with insane amounts of e.g. Cyberdemons when I've been hit by many projectiles at the same time.

I think I've gotten Osiris to gib once with a BFG when we were playing on Skulltag. I'm not entirely sure, though.

<port> -file strain.wad doom2.wad -deh strain.deh -warp 31 -skill 4

[Osiris's_Legacy]

Yes you did Fatal several times, but only gibbed once when I was on 2 health. I managed to get some lucky full hits on you and that gibbed you each time.

A well-timed swingshot with the Double Barrel would do the trick.

[rustyslacker]

No, it wouldn't.

[[UD]Doomguy666]

I honestly didn't bother with any tests... I know it'll take out a player quite efficiently though!

[Grazza]

But gibbing is the topic being discussed here. And because of the way the gibbing code is written, and SSG will not gib anything. It's a good idea to test your claims, especially when you are flat-out contradicting what other people have stated.

[[UD]Doomguy666]

Considering the Double Barrel was mentioned in the first post.... oh well, honestly who cares.
