* Weapon Groups *
Close Quarters (Slot 1)
Weapons of varying power that are suitable for use at close-quarters
against Zombiemen, Demons, Imps, Dogs and the weaker Hell Nobility.
Small Arms (Slot 2)
Medium power weapons, suitable for use at medium distances and against all
of the lower demon classes plus, as a last resort, Hell Nobles and Viles.
Shotgun Variants (Slot 3)
Higher power weapons, suitable for use at close range against the bigger of
the minor monsters, the Hell Noblity and the lower types of the big bosses.
Rapid Fire (Slot 4)
Full-auto weapons such as machine guns and gatling cannons; these vary in
power but all fire several shells per second; useful for room-clearance.
Light Artillery (Slot 5)
High power weapons, suitable for use at greater distances and against all
but the most very dangerous types of monsters, though these too at a pinch.
Miscellaneous Armanents (Slot 6)
Various weapons left over from the source material; these do not really fit
anywhere else, but are considered too cool or useful to discard altogether.
Mass Destruction (Slot 7)
Ultra-high power energy weapons, suitable for use at long distances against
huge hordes of monsters or against the greatest and most powerful monsters.
Projectile Implements (Slot 8)
Weapons such as grenades, shurikens, caltrops; things that are thrown which
then pierce, cut or explode.
Black Magic (Slot 9)
The most eclectic weapons of all! These were not made by humans or else are
weird fusions of technology and magic, often stolen from demons themselves!
Your soul is at risk if you use these artifacts of hell, but sometimes they
can save you from paying it - or the other place - a premature visit!
Black Humour (Slot 0)
The most bizarre weapons of all! Some are just plain silly and others have a
serious use; most were originally going to be easter eggs in the Butchery;
kill demons with them if you like, but remember also to have a good laugh:)
* Weapons *
Slot 1 primary - Punch
======================
Class Name : Fists
DoomEdNum : 15000
Formal Name : Fists
Type : Weapon
Group : Close Quarters
Primary Attack : One of three randomly-selected punches
Primary Hold : Yes
Secondary Attack : None
Secondary Hold : N/A
Ammunition : N/A
Ammunition On Pickup : N/A
Description :
A double-handed martial-arts style punch that special-forces personnel
are trained to use as a last resort when no other weapon is available.
A pickup item is provided in the form of a pair of gloves lying on the
ground, so that they can be subclassed as "the magic gloves of 1337
m4r714l 4r7s sk1llz", "the fists of fury" or similar idea. Cowabunga!
These fists are also useful for WADs that need to strip the player of
weapons and ammo for some special effect, possibly restoring them also;
however, they are intended primarily as a complete replacement for the
DOOM fist and by default given via the included ENTER/RESPAWN scripts.
Idea : Movies and comic books; some good, some bad :)

a pickup sprite from a real Katana picture that I found on the internet
some time ago, though the covered-in-blood look was too good to discard!

Type : Weapon
Group : Small Arms
Primary Attack : Fire pellets
Primary Hold : Yes
Secondary Attack : Shine flashlight
Secondary Hold : Yes
Ammunition : Shells
Ammunition On Pickup : 8
Description :
This gun is Black Cat's adaptation of the venerable Benelli XM-1014
shotgun, designed specifically to complement the other weapons in the
Coordinated Special Forces Range; the XM-1014 was so successful that all
that was needed for this was a small increase in magazine capacity.
The range of 2340 units is based on the Doom Metrics ratio of 1 foot to
16 doom units and the XM-1014's useful range of around 45 meters.

Slot 3 secondary - Sawn-Off Shotgun
===================================

Type : Weapon
Group : Small Arms
Primary Attack : Fire both barrels
Primary Hold : No
Secondary Attack : Fire single barrel
Secondary Hold : No
Ammunition : Shells
Ammunition On Pickup : 2
Description :
The original TH-E16 made by Kray Bros (no relation) between 2035 and
2050 had an unfortunate model number as well as manufacturer: E16 is the
postcode for much of the London borough of Tower Hamlets, notorious for
the regular gangland shoot-outs and drive-bys. Because the authorities
objected to the bad guys having better guns than their own, they
commissioned Black Cat's engineers to design an official sawn-off for
use by MI6 agents operating in occupied territories. Trouble is, like
any good sawn-off, it soon became a favourite trenchcoat accessory of
London's gangsters and similar scum!
The range of 520 units is based on the Doom Metrics ratio of 1 foot to
16 doom units and the typical range for a S.O.S.G. of around 10 yards.
Idea : Weapons used by criminal gangs

Slot 3 tertiary - Heavy Shotgun
===============================

DoomEdNum : 15008
Formal Name : Black Cat HSG-7235 Heavy Shotgun
Type : Weapon
Group : Small Arms
Primary Attack : Fire slug
Primary Hold : Yes
Secondary Attack : None
Secondary Hold : N/A
Ammunition : Slug
Ammunition On Pickup : 8
Description :
This is a heavy duty slug-firing shotgun designed by Black Cat's
engineers for civilian hunters but soon adopted by the British Special
Forces for use in hunting other, less natural, prey (Rrr-HUH!) :)
This weapon was ultimately inspired by the "slug gun" in RealGuns by
Kaiser and uses a projectile flagged RIPPER so that you can kill two
targets with one shot, just as you can with a real slug-firing gun.
Idea : Weapons used by criminal gangs and civilians also
Source : The DT-SHOT3 shotgun (DeHackEd)
Credit : Don Tello (also Kaiser for the "Slug Gun" idea)
Slot 4 primary - Light Machine Gun
==================================
Class Name : LightMachinegun
DoomEdNum : 15009
Formal Name : Black Cat LGX-7241 Light Machine Gun
Group : Rapid Fire
Primary Attack : Full-auto mode (only)
Primary Hold : Yes [well, duh!]
Secondary Attack : No
Secondary Hold : N/A
Ammunition : Bullets
Ammunition On Pickup : 40
Description :
This gun uses NATO 5.56x45 rounds instead of the original 9x19 and is
designed specifically to allow Special Forces to interchange ammunition
between rifles and pistols. The ASP-7227 automatic pistol, SMG-7228

Slot 4 secondary - Vulcan Shotgun
=================================
Class Name : VulcanShotgun
DoomEdNum : 15010
Formal Name : Black Cat VSG-7242 Vulcan Automatic Shotgun
Type : Weapon
Group : Rapid Fire
Primary Attack : Fire shotgun shells in full-auto mode!
Primary Hold : Yes [well, duh!]
Secondary Attack : None
Secondary Hold : N/A
Ammunition : Shell
Ammunition On Pickup : 40
Description :
The 7242 is Black Cat's answer to the trend for automatic shotguns; it
seems that years ago, a shadowy company called Earth Defensive Factory
(or something like that) used to make some sort of chaingun; indeed, as
Black Cat's then-MD once said to the Earl of London about a prototype,
"that's one ripping good chaingun; it isn't lame, Duke!". Ultimately,
Black Cat used it as the inspiration for their fully-automatic shotgun.
The range of 2680 units is based on the Assault Shotgun's range of 45m,
increased by about 10% due to the slightly larger weapon and therefore
longer firing track, giving a slight increase to a range of about 50m.

Slot 4 tertiary - Nemesis Minigun
=================================
Class Name : NemesisMinigun
DoomEdNum : 15011
Formal Name : Black Cat NMG-7243 Nemesis Minigun
Type : Weapon
Group : Rapid Fire
Primary Attack : Fire slugs in full-auto mode!
Primary Hold : Yes [well, duh!]
Secondary Attack : None
Secondary Hold : N/A
Ammunition : Slug
Ammunition On Pickup : 40
Description :
This awesome weapon is nothing less than the result of Black Cat's aim
to create an ultra-heavy-machine gun to replace the UAC Plasma Rifle.
Firing six hundred fourty-four caliber solid metal slugs per minute, it
can rip a Hell Knight in half in less than five seconds; powerful enough
that it needs the same recoil-suppression system as the Atomic Cannon!
This started life years ago as a patch for the plasma rifle made for
use with FISTFULL.WAD as a sort-of poor man's gatling gun using sprites
from MARINES.WAD or one of that series. I had long wanted to update this
as a "real" gun and ESPI's Vulcan Minigun was a perfect basis for that.
The use of slugs was ultimately inspired by the "slug gun" in RealGuns
by Kaiser and uses a projectile flagged RIPPER so that you can kill two
targets with one shot, just as you can with a real slug-firing gun.

Slot 5 primary - Sandman Gun
============================
Class Name : PlasmaHandgun
DoomEdNum : 15012
Formal Name : Black Cat DSL-7251 Hyper-Charged Plasma Handgun
Type : Weapon
Group : Light Artillery
Primary Attack : Fire a hypercharged plasma bolt at 0.95c
Primary Hold : No
Secondary Attack : None
Secondary Hold : N/A
Ammunition : Cells
Ammunition On Pickup : 40
Description :
When Nolan & Johnson Inc were assimilated by the company that eventually
became Black Cat, MI5 slapped a D-Notice on the DS-21/30, considering it
far too dangerous to use; however, after the Demon War, British Special
Forces recognised the need to pack a much bigger punch against the
powerful and inhuman enemies they now faced.
Accordingly, Black Cat were instructed to design a hypercharged plasma
handgun and this is it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Black Cat are pleased to announce the
DSL-7251
the most powerful handgun in the world!
Firing a hypercharged plasma bolt at 95% of the speed of light, this
awesome weapon terrifies cyberdemons and can grease a Baron of Hell in
one shot!*
Menaced by monsters? Distracted by demons? Harassed by horrors? Forget
your troubles, buy a 7251 and go put 'em to sleep - for good!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is as close to a Sandman Gun as DOOM can get; it defies belief that
nobody ever put this beautiful weapon in a game before, so here it is!
It is widely believed that any "real guns" mod for DOOM should have some
sort of high-power sniping rifle; to satisfy those people and because I
always thought the Sandman Gun was extremely cool, this takes its place.
The huge damage value is necessary because it was always intended that
this gun should be able to kill a Baron in one shot and a Cyberdemon or
Spider Mastermind in two. To balance that, it takes over a second to
recharge the internal capacitors and eats up 40 charges per shot.

Slot 5 secondary - Flame Thrower
================================
Class Name : FlmeThrower
DoomEdNum : 15013
Formal Name : Black Cat FLT-7252 Flamethrower
Group : Rapid Fire
Primary Attack : Fire ... er ... well ... fire, I guess!
Primary Hold : Yes [well, duh!]
Secondary Attack : No
Secondary Hold : N/A
Ammunition : Gas
Ammunition On Pickup : 40
Description :
A very powerful weapon, the flamethrower is really useful when you are
outnumbered or outgunned; let's all have deep-fried demons for dinner!
This flamethrower is a heavily modified DOOM Plasma Rifle and also uses
ideas and graphics from various sources; in particular, sound and a bit
of code from Bouncy's WRW flamethrower, graphics slightly modified from
those of WW-OSH by WildWeasel, plus some edited archvile flame sounds.
Idea : Movies and comics such as Commando, Warlord, etc.

Slot 5 tertiary - Atomic Cannon
===============================
Class Name : AtomicCannon
DoomEdNum : 15014
Formal Name : Black Cat PDC-7253 Atomic Cannon
Type : Weapon
Group : Light Artillery
Primary Attack : Launch a rocket or, if primed, a nuclear missile!
Primary Hold : Yes
Secondary Attack : Prime (upgrade a rocket to) a nuclear missile
Secondary Hold : No
Ammunition : Conventional rockets and nuclear missiles
Ammunition On Pickup : 2 conventional rockets, 0 nuclear warheads
Description :
The 7253 launches standard UAC rockets, but Black Cat's top-secret
recoil suppression system makes possible a rocket launcher that can be
fired from inside the shoulder without breaking the arms or collar-bone.
Apart from the form factor and recoil suppressant, the weapon behaves
like the standard UAC Rocket Launcher in most respects by default.
As its name suggests, the 7253 is not just a standard rocket launcher;
it was designed to fire tactical nuclear missiles on the battlefield;
these are rare and also highly dangerous, so use them with caution.
To fire a nuclear missile, you must use the cannon's built-in warhead
upgrade mechanics; these require a conversion kit ("NuclearWarhead"),
which upgrades a conventional rocket; once upgraded, the rocket must
be fired before the cannon can be fired again and the kits are rare.
A nuclear explosion does HUGE damage; at ground zero, a cyberdemon will
be seriously injured and may even be killed outright; anything smaller
within a radius of about 100m will almost instantly be fragged or fried;
that includes you too, so be sure to take cover before detonation.
There are also some interesting after-effects in the vicinity of a
nuclear explosion... the weather is truly fouled up, electrical stuff
doesn't always work properly and as for the environment... forget it!

Slot 6 primary - Backup Pistol
==============================
Class Name : AresPistol
DoomEdNum : 15015
Formal Name : Ares B96-1337 Backup Pistol
Type : Weapon
Group : Miscellaneous Armanents
Primary Attack : Fire dum dum
Primary Hold : Yes
Secondary Attack : None
Secondary Hold : N/A
Ammunition : Dum dums
Ammunition On Pickup : 10
Description :
Although named for the Greek God of War, the 1337 is a poor adaptation
to fourty-four calibre of a now-obsolete Police handgun common in the
early 21st Century; accordingly, Black Cat have not incorporated it into
the 72-series product line, but relegated it to use as a backup pistol.
It is useful at close quarters and reliable despite the high firing rate
and large calibre, but the long-distance accuracy of the weapon is low.

Slot 6 secondary - Magnum
=========================
Class Name : MagnumHandgun
DoomEdNum : 15016
Formal Name : Black Cat MHG-7629 Magnum Handgun
Type : Weapon
Group : Miscellaneous Armanents
Primary Attack : Fire dum dum
Primary Hold : Yes
Secondary Attack : None
Secondary Hold : N/A
Ammunition : Dum dums
Ammunition On Pickup : 4
Description :
Customized under licence by Black Cat at the behest of SOE Operational
Command, the 7629 is a low-tech but high-power handgun that can blow an
unlucky punk's head clean off; it's bloody good against cow demons too!
Thanks to the evil Sandmen clamouring to have their gun implemented in
Doom, the S&W 29 is no longer the "most powerful handgun in the world";
in fact, it never was; but those movie folks talk a lot of c**p, niet?
The .357 Magnum went down in history as one of the greatest handguns in
the world and the .44 only added to the mythos, especially after the 29
was immortalised by Clint Eastwood in the Dirty Harry movie series.
Putting one in Doom was the holy grail of pistol mods and all the great
weapon modders from Cory Whittle to WildWeasel have done it at some time
or other; this one uses WildWeasel's standard revolver as a base for the
graphics and sounds; the code is a modified 1337 backup pistol.

Description :

Not sure if sniper scope should stay or be removed.
!ADVANCE INFORMATION!!!!!!!!SUBJECT TO FINE-TUNING!
When you need an insane amount of stopping power and there isn't a handy
plasma handgun anywhere nearby, the SNR-7552 is the next best thing.
Designed originally as a sniper rifle, the 7552 is an adaptation, though
total redesign might be a better word, to fourty-four calibre of the SIG
Commando carbine. Made for British Special Forces by Black Cat to meet
stringent requirements, this gun fires Black Cat MDM-2744 magnum dum dum
rounds at supersonic speeds and can grease a Hell Knight with one shot!
Combining range, accuracy and stopping power, this gun looks positively
mean; however, it has a slow rate of fire and is best used for BIG game!

The weapon logic uses various ideas from GunsPC, NinjaDuel and EliW00d's
ZDoomAdv, two sounds from BF-CDOOM (loading clicks as pickup sounds) and
the sprites from GunsPC.
This weapon is an adaptation of the shuriken throw in Nick Anderson's
Ninja Duel weapon replacement pack to implement ESPI's grenades from
GunsPC; unlike other items therein, these can't be simply translated
from DDF because the DECORATE weapon model is not as good as that of
DDF; you'll have to "Wait For DoomScript"!
The grenades have a timer of around 4-6 seconds.
Idea : Movies and comics such as Commando, Warlord, etc.

Slot 9 primary - Unholy Bible
=============================
Class Name : BibleOfBlasphemy
DoomEdNum : 15024
Formal Name : Bible of Blasphemy
Type : Weapon
Group : Black Magic
Primary Attack : Strike down evildoers with fire from heaven!
Primary Hold : No
Secondary Attack : Summon a pack of black cats to fight for you
Secondary Hold : No
Ammunition : Health and, for secondary fire, some mana also
Ammunition On Pickup : N/A
Description :
Said to have been taken down by Apophis himself at the Temple of Karnak,
the Bible of Blasphemy is the work of the Priests of Bast, Goddess of
all things Feline and is preserved for future generations by the Masons!
This sacred tome bestows the power to strike down evildoers with fire
from heaven or summon a pack of black cat zombies as your personal army!
Beware, however, that Bast demands some of your vitality as penance for
possession of this awesome power and sometimes, some heavenly Mana also!
This vision of the weapon was inspired by the "Unholy Bible" artefact
that appeared in the DOOM alpha and beta versions, but never made it
into the final game. It really was such a shame that id Software did not
see fit to use it, so here is my take on how it might have worked.
This started life years ago as the Curse of Bast/Collar of Bastet in my
own early mod Bombay 72. Every long-standing DOOM developer has made a
"BFG as Black Magic Curse" hack of some sort and I was no exception :P
There are also three other related items that comprise the book open on
a bookstand (e.g., on/near an altar) from which you can pick the weapon
up, leaving the empty bookstand behind; this is the Unholy Bible itself.
Idea : Doom Beta Unholy Bible and BFG "curse" hacks :)

Slot 9 secondary - Evil Sceptre
===============================
Class Name : ScepterOfSacrilege
DoomEdNum : 15025
Formal Name : Scepter of Sacrilege
Type : Weapon
Group : Black Magic
Primary Attack : Choke evildoers with the foul odour of their sin!
Primary Hold : No
Secondary Attack : Summon a pack of evil spirits to haunt thy enemies
Secondary Hold : No
Ammunition : Health and, for secondary fire, some mana also
Ammunition On Pickup : N/A
Description :
Said to have been used by Baal himself, the Scepter of Sacrilege is an
evil sorcerer's wand, preserved since antiquity by the Knights Templar!
This profane wand bestows the power to smite your enemies with a choking
poison or summon a pack of evil spirits that rip and tear their flesh.
Beware, however, that Baal demands some of your vitality as payment for
using this foul weapon and sometimes takes some of your Mana as well!
This vision of the weapon was inspired by the "Evil Sceptre" artefact
that appeared in the DOOM alpha and beta versions, but never made it
into the final game. It really was such a shame that id Software did not
see fit to use it, so here is my take on how it might have worked.
The weapon logic is a "from-scratch" approximation of the Wraithverge,
using Lost Souls as spirits because in DOOM, they seem to fit the bill!

Slot 9 tertiary - Heart of Heresy
=================================
Class Name : HeartOfHeresy
DoomEdNum : 15026
Formal Name : Heart of Heresy
Type : Weapon
Group : Black Magic
Primary Attack : Freeze evildoers with the terror of retribution!
Primary Hold : No
Secondary Attack : Summon monsters from the dead as your zombie army
Secondary Hold : No
Ammunition : Health and, for secondary fire, some mana also
Ammunition On Pickup : N/A
Description :
Said to be the heart of D'Sparil himself, this foul artefact of malice
was discovered in a vault in the British Museum by satanist priests and
bestows upon the bearer the power to resurrect dead monsters as slaves!
Dead, yet alive, this abomination requires feeding and will always steal
s little of your vitality when you call upon it and of course, your mana
is rather tempting too; don't be too rash with the use of this vileness.
This started life as the WRW Necronomicon; I needed a third black magic
weapon for this pack that wasn't a book or wand but must be a mystical
icon and be the <something> of <word involving some sort of profanity>.
Since we already had blasphemy and sacrilege, heresy seemed the logical
choice; having seen the WRW weapon, I liked the idea of the Handbook of
Heresy, but there was already a book. Then I remembered a weapon in one
of Daniel's WADs that was obviously inspired by the SW Ripper Heart.
By combining the two ideas, we obtain the Heart of Heresy! As it raises
dead monsters, this seems fitting; after all, servitude to a human must
surely be heretical, from the perspective of any self-respecting demon!

Slot 0 primary - Korax's Clipboard
==================================
Class Name : ClipboardOfChaos
DoomEdNum : 15027
Formal Name : Clipboard of Chaos
Type : Weapon
Group : Black Humour
Primary Attack : Swat the enemy aside [yeah, right]
Primary Hold : No
Secondary Attack : None
Secondary Hold : N/A
Ammunition : N/A
Ammunition On Pickup : N/A
Description :
One of two "joke" weapons in the pack, this, believe it or not, is that
most vile of the artefacts of deviltry: KORAX'S KANVASSING KLIPBOARD!!!
Korax is wanted for canvassing without a permit (he keeps confronting
people, enquiring "Greetings, Mortal. Are you ready to die?") and has a
price on his head of a cool million pounds! When out canvassing, he had
a clipboard, which the cops duly impounded and put in the Evidence Room!
The weapon logic is a modified DOOM fist, based on the clipboard in
Action DooM by Scuba Steve; it's a bit like the Ninja Duel war fan.
Unlike Scuba Steve's original Action DooM clipboard, you CAN use this
as a weapon by swatting monsters with it, hence its inclusion in this
pack; just don't try doing that to a CyberDemon or ArchVile :)
Idea : Inspired by Scuba Steve's Action DooM clipboard

Slot 0 secondary - Abbatoir Sledgehammer
========================================
Class Name : HammerOfHatred
DoomEdNum : 15028
Formal Name : Hammer of Hatred
Type : Weapon
Group : Black Humour
Primary Attack : Smash the enemy to jelly
Primary Hold : Yes
Secondary Attack : None
Secondary Hold : N/A
Ammunition : N/A
Ammunition On Pickup : N/A
Description :
The other of two "joke" weapons in the pack, the Hammer of Hatred is a
nod to the abattoir workers of old, who would slaughter cattle with
sledgehammers before those electric stun bolt things were invented.
Players would talk of slaughtering demons in DOOM; that's NOTHING: with
this, you actually CAN; there's a reason they're called the "cow demon"!
The weapon logic is a modified Cleric Mace; the settings were obtained
directly from the ZDOOM source code, as they are not listed in the Wiki;
basically, this is a heavily modified blend of the Mace and the Hammer.
The high damage value is used because by definition, this weapon must be
capable of taking out a "cattle demon*" in one or two hits.
*Doggies... Puppies... Pinkies... Beholders... Cow Demons... just how
many nicknames have been invented for them after 13 years of DOOM? :)

Slot 0 tertiary - Chainsaw
==========================
Class Name : ChainsawOfCarnage
DoomEdNum : 15029
Formal Name : Chainsaw of Carnage
Type : Weapon
Group : Black Humour
Primary Attack : Saw [well, duh!]
Primary Hold : Yes
Secondary Attack : Switches the chainsaw ON or OFF
Secondary Hold : No
Ammunition : N/A
Ammunition On Pickup : N/A
Description :
In the aftermath of the Demon War, the chainsaw-wielding exploits of a
certain USSMC grunt spawned many faux-militaristic marketing campaigns
of civilian products that had any vaguely possible military potential.
Probably the most blatant of these was the rebranded Eager Beaver MkII
"Chainsaw of Carnage" marketed by Korax Kutting Kompany, who by 2038 had
acquired the rights to the entire McCulloch product line. Nobody really
knew anything about the CEO of this shadowy corporation, but it was said
that his employees "can smell your blood". Odd. MI5 are investigating...
In the meantime, if you have any trees that are "Ready to Die(tm)", why
not get this beautiful chainsaw with pull-to-start rope action and foul,
dirty exhaust smoke? You won't regret it... then again, maybe you will!

The Good Guy - Commando
=======================
Class Name : Commando
DoomEdNum : N/A (Player Class)
Formal Name : S.O.E. Commando
Type : Animal
Group : Players
Description :
This is YOU!
You are an agent of the Special Operations Executive, otherwise known as
The Increment; you earn your living via jobs too dirty even for the SAS.
The SOE has a simple job - kill Britain's enemies legally or otherwise,
wherever, whoever and WHATever they are. Be they big-time drug dealers,
international terrorists or demons from Hell; if they compromise the
welfare of British citizens, it is up to YOU to stop them. PERMANENTLY.
Player sprites display a typical black-fatigues-and-balaclava figure,
the status bar and text strings use British English and the status face
now has all animations (Covert-Ops only implemented some).

Type : Ammunition
Group : Personal Artillery
Ammunition On Pickup : 20
Description :
The DOOM battery of 20 energy cells with reduced size to make it seem
more realistic in appearance as compared with other pickup items; it
also has an animated bar graph display to enhance the overall look of
the item. It has a clip-style form-factor partly because the large size
of the small cell battery has always seemed rather odd; in particular,
this change causes it to match the Sandman Gun as an ammunition pack.

Berserk
=======
Class Name : BerserkEx

Formal Name : Adrenal Steroid Infusion
Type : Inventory
Group : Enhancements
Benefit On Pickup : Health restoration, strength, temporary psychosis
Description :
The US Space-Marine Corps' Adrenal Steroid Infusion is a performance
enhancing drug cocktail whose exact formula is classified and MI6 is of
the opinion that it probably contains at least some illegal technology,
probably black magic, as well as conventional medicine; this is due to
the apparent laws-of-physics-defying effects that it has on the user.
This exists for compatibility reasons only, in case the mod is ever used
with a level that contains a berserk pack; it causes a switch to the
Fists, if available, otherwise to the conventional DOOM fist.

Type : Ammunition
Group : Miscellaneous Armanents
Ammunition On Pickup : 4
Description :
Dumb? Dumber? Even an elephant would forget his own name with two of
these in his brain; when you need an insane amount of stopping power in
a traditional alternative to plasma rifles and atomic disintegrators,
the Black Cat .44 Magnum Dumb-Dumb (tm) round is your cleverest choice!
Designed to split up inside the target and leave no exit wound, Dum Dum
bullets are the ultimate round for bringing down the bigger beasties.
Licensed only for the Police, Dumb-Dumbs (tm) are illegal for military
use and could get you court-martialled; then again, the executioners of
Princess Diana probably don't give two hoots about the Hague Convention!

Formal Name : Black Cat NKW-7294 Nuclear Warhead
Type : Ammunition
Group : Light Artillery
Ammunition On Pickup : 1
Ammunition Maximum Load : 2 (4 with backpack)
Description :
What can I say; after years of James Bond, Shadow Warrior (tm) and even
al-Quaeda, it's about time we had a portable nuclear warhead in DOOM.
These devices upgrade a standard explosive rocket to a tactical nuclear
missile with a low-yield of around 1KT. The outer layer of paint gets
removed from the missile and the existing warhead is set to trigger the
the nuke upon detotation; the package contains a conversion kit as well
as the warhead and is loaded into the Atomic Cannon, which includes the
necessary mechanics; the entire process takes about three seconds.
After the conversion, the rocket cannot be reverted and must be launched
before the weapon can be used again; so be very careful and don't waste
these very rare items - waste a whole bunch of demons instead!

Description :
A shuriken. Often called "Ninja Stars", there are actually many styles
of shuriken and they are properly more of a distraction than lethal;
then again, you probably didn't actually fight psychotic demons from

Description :
What can I say; if you don't know what a hand grenade is, stop playing
DOOM and take up table-tennis :) Grenades are so-called because they
originally resembled pomeGRANATEs; even the traditional Mills Bomb does
a little, though it's more like a pineapple and WWI soldiers even called
them that; oh well, enough of the history lesson; GO FRAG SOME DEMONS :P

Mortal Good Guyz in The Unending Quest Against The Forces Of Evil (tm).
Since Her Sacred Majesty cannot intervene directly in Mortal affairs,
she curses the blood of satanic horrors to become Mana when they die*.
*Actually, that effect is so far only used in the Butchery (unreleased
WIP as at 2007-NOV-12); to use this as a dropitem in your own projects,
subclass a monster to replace itself or create a new monster; then set
the DropItem property of your monster to "Mana".

============
Class Name : ManaCluster
DoomEdNum : 15041

Type : Ammunition
Group : Black Magic
Ammunition On Pickup : 100
Description :
The use of this as a normal pickup is deprecated but, like the shuriken,
caltrop and grenade pickups, exists due to engine limitations.
Because of the limited collision physics of the Doom engine, it is next
to impossible to accurately place one map object on another in a pile;
thus, a pile of shurikens, caltrops, hand-grenades or mana orbs fails.
Since unlike the others, mana does not consist of discrete objects, a
large blob thereof is considered better than a simulated pile of orbs.
