None boomsticks. “But that’s unreasonable,” you say, “it’s a medieval near-simulation!” Yeah? Well, try getting ambushed wearing your Sunday Best, then tell me you wouldn’t take one if offered.

Scientific criteria of Super Shotgun Success includes: does it instagib grunts? Does it stagger beefier goons? Sprawl’s surprising E1M2 boomstick drop does both, eliciting coos of delight.

A weapon upgrade for the standard shotgun lets you convert it to a "both barrels" situation. However, since that upgrade only has a "chance of dropping"...well, caveat emptor.

This one's got the Hydra, right? Love that thing. Silly-ass Boomstick.

It...has them. S.T.A.L.K.E.R.'s weapons are kinda intentionally not amazing, and there's a huge variety of weapons in various states of disrepair. You know, like a proper wasteland. Boomstick...sure.

They give you a grappling hook that lights enemies on fire while you zip to them for to blast 'em with both barrels. Extremely Good Boomstick.

At first glance, you might think Shrine's super shotgun is a wet noodle. BUT, it's the first weapon you get that has an alt-fire, and that alt-fire does what you want. Decent Boomstick.

The progenitor. What else needs be said? Boomstick good.
