Saw that there's no image for the said article.

Read this up and I wanna help out. Don't know where to start, but I got this.

Unfortunately, the pic's a little too dark (obviously since it's a nighttime shot) and doesn't actually demonstrate the trope, which is the main criteria for pics on trope pages. It's a good conversation starter, though.

Bad image. No to OP. Though we could look to the previous discussion for ideas.

Image Source. Please update whenever an image is changed.

Okay, those are just pictures of people with shotguns, though. The trope is about a video game thing. A page image should illustrate the trope.

So I need to get a pic of someone firing said weapon?

Just to be clear.

[up] no if we do go with a video game example then the image must clearly demonstrate why the shotgun is a better weapon per gameplay mechanics.

Is it faster more ammo more powerful more useful free etc.

^^ No. Read the trope description. A good image would say at least some of that.

The trope page has non-video game examples.

If Willbyr agrees that another image should be used, I'll look for one later.

That isn't relevant. The article is about a convention that is most common in videogames, but can appear elsewhere.

Keeping it simple and classic: [1]

P.S.: For those who don't recognise it, it's from Doom.

I was thinking the panel immediately after it, although A) it's kind of irregularly shaped, with the speech bubble popping out into the previous panel, and B) it might make a better page quote than an image.

^^ I also like how the shotgun is entirely in the shot in comparison to ^.

I wanted to use the lower panel, but it's too wide to work unfortunately.

Still think 15 is the best here.

I think several of the Doom suggestions work well enough.
