The '''Double-Barrelled Shotgun''' uses 2 shells up per shot, but is a lot more effective at close range than the [[Shotgun]]. It is probably the most-used weapon in the game, and you'll first find it in a secret in [[E1M1]], or else in [[E1M2]].

The term "Super Shotgun" might sometimes be used to describe this gun in fewer syllables, but this is technically incorrect. Both Doom 2 and [[Quake II]] used this term, but in Quake it is called the Double-Barrelled Shotgun. Still, its [[spawn function]] refers to it as ''weapon_supershotgun''.
