Love the Combine pulse rifle in HL2. The bouncing orb secondary that disintegrates anybody in the way is spectacular.

It's such a unique looking weapon, though I've been thinking about how it would realistically work [Gun nerd babbling ahead] So far I'm set thinking it uses a gas delayed blowback system like on a Steyr GB pistol or a Gustloff VG-1-5 rifle, it would make sense on why it has a slide in the first place, but I've been trying to make sense of the geometry of the magazine tube and breech assembly, maybe I'm missing something but it seems like the mag tube has a cartridge lifter integrated to it just under the last rear-most shell, still trying to figure it out.

@Trevor20113

4 жыл бұрын

When you rack the slide back you can see an up angled shell entering the chamber. My guess is there's a hidden lifter, like that on a conventional simi-auto/pump shotgun. IRL, you could create a reciprocating action independent of the slide to move the whole upper receiver over the lifter when not firing. It would make the action, recoil operated similar to a Beretta 92F or Barrett M82/M107. Just a guess though. Someone needs to make this thing.

For some reason, i love the shotty. The sounds, the way you load and prime it, it just feels good

Excellent video, just got the shotgun and thought it only took 3 shells and not 7, that was until I watched this vid. The pistol mod video was also really good. Decided to spend the resin on the shotgun lasersight and doubleshot. I take it I will get grenades later in the game, not worth buying the shotgun grenade launcher yet.

I've seen just so many people load the shotgun once i don't even know what to think.

Something to note: basically every weapon in Alyx is either a pistol or SMG of some kind. Even the shotgun is designed to be as small and compact as possible and even has a similar operating system to a typical pistol. And this makes perfect sense when you realize that in VR, you can't shoulder a rifle or hold onto a physical handguard to keep your ingame weapon steady, making long range accuracy impossible.

I love this weapon so much. It's definitely the best one I've used in VR

Got to say it’s far more interesting to watch the hologram screen adding the ads on to the weapon that the spinning upgrade animation.

Ngl I do love how the double-shot gives it some aspects similar to the SPAS-12 from the main HL games.

They broke the shotgun laser sight with a recent update apparently. No longer projects a laser sight onto scenery, just draws the cone of laser light being emitted. Waste of 10 resin when I got the upgrade today (been playing very slowly through Alyx because it's too scary).

The style feel exactly like the jeep in HL2, rebel style.

I really love the shotgun in this game!

Woah all these shotgun upgrade look so cool and helpful! I wonder what it will look fully upgraded- *holy fuck*

Wasn't sure if you mentioned it in the video, but if you have the laser sight and grenade launcher then the laser site will change to a blue arc when you activate the grenade launcher. Super handy!

Fully upgraded, that thing is an absolute beast of a shotgun that should be in every shooter game

Oh now that makes more sense for the double shot upgrade. I thought it was 2 at once and for some reason, you can't see an explanation of what upgrades do after you bought them.

This game taught me to always reload with 1 in the chamber, to keep from fumbling when panicked :P

Another pro for autoloader would be that you can reload with one hand if shells are already in the autoloader.

That auto loader attachment is a pretty awesome idea for an attachment

It's interesting, I feel the laser sight is kinda pointless but knowing it has synergy with the grenade launcher actually gives it a really good use, might be interesting to do different runs with a build like that in mind?

another pro to the Grenade Launcher, is that you can carry 1 more grenade!! 💥

The laser site for the shotgun is a totally underrated attachment.

The shotgun is perfect, the upgrades prove this

The laser sight is sort of weird in that it gets more useful if you're holding the gun wrong. If you're playing full immersion style and holding it like you're expecting some kickback, like you'd hold a real gun, it's not very useful because it's just gonna be in front of you the entire time. Unlike the other guns it doesn't help with pinpoint accuracy on far targets or anything. But if you're waving the gun around like a madman, and shooting in ways that would break your wrist in real life... well it's very useful! You can immediately see if the gun is actually pointing at what you THINK it's pointing at, and don't need to do silly things like AIMING before you pull the trigger.

laser sight: you see it like a baseball box you gotta hit the inside if you wanna strike
