Accessory's description: 
This accessory is an almost complete replacement for the default 
Q3:A Shotgun. It is loosely based on the Handgun carried by Johnny 
Alpha in the Strontium Dog comic strip - Original design by Carlos 
Ezquerra.

PARTS REPLACED:   Shotgun model
                  Shotgun "flash" model
                  Shotgun "flash" skin
                  Shotgun "_hand" Anim
                  Shotgun sound effect
                  Shotgun Cartridges Skin

PARTS ADDED:      New Shotgun skins
                  New extra "flash" skin & shader

Other info      : My second model, after the successful
                  Plasmagun conversion.

Previous work:    Team-Mirage (Skin-Pack)
                  Team-Storm (Skin-Pack)
                  DM-PG-002 Plasmarifle (Weapon Replacement)
                  PeacH for the Crash model (Skin)
                  SKIN for the Bitterman model (Skin)

                  Duke for the Sarge model (Skin)

* How to use this accessory *

Unpack the file wep3-shotgun.pk3 to your BaseQ3 directory, when
you restart Q3:A the standard Shotgun should be replaced by this
one.  To return to the original design of gun simply remove the
"wep3-shotgun.pk3" file from BaseQ3.

Skin meshes have been included in JPEG format if you wish to
attempt your own skin.  These are twice the size of the actual
skins for sake of clarity.  If you produce any skin's for the
weapon, please e-mail me a URL where I can download it.  Do not
mail me the .pk3 itself unless you let me know in advance -
thanks.
