Description of the Modification
-------------------------------
     I have always liked the Doom shotguns more than Quake's --
not only in damage, but also that you could kill several former
humans or imps standing behind each other.  That was because
in Doom, traces ignored dead things (entities in Doom) even
if the thing was solid.  In Quake, traces are (usually)
absorbed by anything solid.  This means that while it is
possible to explode someone, you cannot kill enemies behind
the target shot, which limits the usefulness of the shotgun
somewhat.

     This mod modifies the shotguns so that it acts like
Doom's in every aspect:  5-15 damage per pellet, number
of pellets and the spread, rate of fire, and most importantly
the dead body piercing capabilities of the pellets.


How to Install the Modification
-------------------------------
Replace the original weapons.qc with the one included
in this archive, then compile a new progs.dat.
