Interestingly, the in-game pickup sprite ditches the real world inspiration of the toy for what appears to be a box fed minigun that appears as if it's supposed to be held like a conventional rifle. The graphics are photographed from a cap-firing toy minigun, a Tootsie-Toy "Ol' Painless", which appears to be partly inspired by the hand held M134 Minigun from Predator notably, several other in-game assets are also based on this toy, including columns and floor lamps made out of its barrels. Machine Guns "Chaingun" (Tootsie-Toy "Ol' Painless"/Hand Held M134 Minigun)įound in Doom's second level, the "Chaingun" (actually a minigun) is a machine gun weapon that's useful for ventilating low level foes quickly. However, it still makes the necessary sounds.ĭoom Guy firing a drawn fictional SMG in one hand, and holding a photographed toy shotgun in the other. A slightly more detailed looking sawed-off appears in Doom 64, although due to a lack of memory space on the game cartridge, the gun's lengthy reload animation was cut. The gun always fires both barrels at the same time and is instantly reloaded upon doing so, making it the only weapon in the classic Doom game to do so up until Hacx introduced a reloading Uzi. The weapon has since appeared in every Doom title since, save for Doom 3, which didn't introduce the weapon until its expansion pack Resurrection of Evil. The only new weapon to appear in Doom II was the "Super Shotgun," a break-open 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun with a sawed-off barrel and intact stock, that proved to be extremely popular in multiplayer circles. The pickup sprite appears to be a suspiciously reminiscent the Winchester rifles, such as Model 1892. Note the pickup sprite, which in this game is the same for both the Shotgun and Super Shotgun. However, due to memory limitations on the game cartridge, a pumping aniamtion was not included, offering no further angles. The shotgun from Doom 64 appears to be an entirely different weapon. The pistol is one of the weakest of the game's weapons, and isn't very useful after obtaining virtually any other weapon. According to game designer John Romero, the pistol was created from photographs of a bright orange water pistol that was modeled after a Beretta which was then painted black. The "Pistol" in the first three Doom titles is a Beretta 92FS, as evident from the general shape of the top of the gun. For sci-fi weapons such as the Plasma Rifle or BFG9000, see the talk page for their associated information. However, given the number of weapons in the Doom games that aren't even meant to be firearms, this page will for the most part layout only the weapons that are actually firearms in the Doom universe. If the toy or replica is known, then that will be referenced. In many ways this would be similar to later games using photographs of either real or replica firearms to texture 3D modeled weapons. Given that the majority of these titles feature the same graphics, and that the recent ones feature little in the way of firearms in general, this article will cover firearms from what can be considered to be a part of the classic Doom library.ĭoom used a process of photographic digitization to create most of the sprites used in the game monsters were created from latex, while the weapons were toy guns and cap-firing replicas bought from Toys "R" Us stores. In 1997 Doom 64 was released as the last entry in the original franchise as an exclusive title for the Nintendo 64 (although it would later receive an official port in 2020 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch and PC), featuring an entirely new campaign, overhauled graphics and art assets, and both new and modified weapons and enemies.
