Power
- The Double-Barrel Shotgun deals 4 points of damage over 14 pellets; 56 damage if all pellets connect, which makes this weapon able to kill a Scout in two shots.
- The Half-Life 1 Engine (Gold Source Engine) also limits the spread of the Double-Barrel Shotgun, making it work surprisingly well at long range.
- The reloading time is fairly quick as it takes only 3 seconds to completely reload it.
Weaknesses
- The Team Fortress Super Shotgun is very inaccurate which renders the weapon less useful at range, making it better suited as a secondary weapon.
- In Team Fortress Classic, it is preferable to use it in close combat quarters to deal full damage. Unfortunately, this causes the player to expose themselves to danger.
