I find the most evil thing about Gen is when as a slipgater you run out of nails, and as theres only one nail left, you automatically swop to normal nailgun to fire the last nail.. before changing to shotgun. this delay never seemed to happen with Q1, and has got me killed at least 3 times last saturday, (my first game online). Other than that the game has taken over for me from UT, which in turn took over from Q1 many years ago.

Yes, the nailgun bug is annoying.  It will be fixed in the next version.

Death by Doom's starting shotgun (non-quad). Very embarrassing.

That thing does a LOT of damage

From the weapon description:

Code:
Damage: 72 (8 x 9 pellets)
Rate of Fire: 57
Ammo Type: Shells
Special Features: Spawn weapon (empty), flat wide spread.

It shoots 9 pellets that do 8 damage apiece. Even if only half (4) hit you, that's still 32 damage, which is enough to kill anyone in three shots.

Wasn't talking about the damange per say.  It just sounds and looks so wimpy compared to the more-popular double shotgun.  I always have to think for a minute when I hear its sound effect to recognize what gun it is, since its used so rarely (mainly because on the maps we play on forum games the shotgun ammo is near a double shotgun weapon spawn...so why use the weaker of the two(besides ammo conservation)?)

It's better at long range.

Sometiems you have shells but no SSG.

Finishing weapon, it refires faster.

It's really not too bad of a sniping weapon at intermediate range.  Long range is still better suited to the chaingun though.  But then again, if you don't have a chaingun...
