Best Videogame Shotgun

There's a lot of good shotguns.
Akimbo 1887s in MW2 made you feel like death itself as you just tore through dudes halfway across the map. Gnasher has always been one of the best feeling guns in games. Pretty much all of the shotguns in RE4 feel great to use. Same with Doom's shotgun and super shotgun. In the end, I think I'd still give it to the Gnasher just because of how juicy it felt to kill someone with it.
In terms of looks and not necessarily gameplay, Monster Hunter World Iceborn has the Loyal Thunder, which is the best looking shotgun in any game because it looks like a railgun and not a shotgun.

see the idea of an autoshotty like that doesn't appeal to me at all. The whole point of a shotgun is one-click deletion. If I have to hold down the trigger I might as well have an assault rifle.
I wonder why we find visceral brutal graphic violence to be so satisfying in video games and movies.
I stand by my truth:
I'm not really a fan of it with the level of realism that more recent games go to. In Unreal Tournament I'm okay with it because it looks more cartoony than realistic, and those games also have gore settings, but like The Last of Us turned me off partly because of the level of realism they were showing on things like stabbing someone in the head and stuff like that. I actually really appreciate how Destiny is one of the few shooters to not feature graphic violence and goes for fantastical explosions and and stuff.
This one.The HL2 shotgun is cool, but my favorite is the Flak Cannon from Unreal.
The weapon of a butcher.

Damn right. First one that came to mind when I clicked on this thread. Its alternate fire is also really good, so satisfying when you aim downwards and watch the slug arc directly onto the enemy and blow them up.
The levels are remarkable because they facilitate the awesome combat encounters. Give me utilitarian hallways and office buildings if I can get firefights like Fear.
Some good ones covered well already, namely with Doom series and Gears.
I always liked the double boomstick in Quake 1.
Really like the single and double shotguns in Outlaws. Loading mechanics and animations were completely novel in 1997 and that made using the Outlaws' super fun.
Also liked the shotguns from Red Dead Revolver (PS2). The forgotten Red Dead, many of the weapons in that game were fun to use.

Almost all of the shotguns in it are a joy to use precisely because of that lol.
Last I checked #1 buckshot can be potentially lethal at 25 yards and #00 buckshot can be potentially lethal up to 50 yards. And this is assuming you are using buckshot in the first place and not slugs. Are you able to melee a person 25 yards away?
I liked the pump shotty from Cod4.
I managed to get all the skins for it. Twice I think. Stopping power and steady aim. It was fun to sprint around and hip fire everybody.
Because irl they have great range.
