Hear me out here. Shotgun, sawed off with short barrel. (similar to a shortstop in tf2). Four barrels, drum magazine at base. Fires powerful, short range pulse that creates huge knockback for both parties, knocking them about three squares backwards. Reloads after every hit. Fast fire rate and reload speed and gives msi low. Possibly belongs in a set, and as a unique event weapon mayhaps.
(oh and drum magazines in pistols totally is a thing. it's attached onto the bottom of the pistol, where a usual slide magazine goes)
Could also have luger pistol design or just use a blaster pod as a magazine (the back part of the blaster contains ammo, yes?)
Idea for a weapon mechanic: "Hard-Knock Life" shotgun.

hmmm..
@Fight-Beetle:
This has been suggested before and it can work perfectly for this game. I suggest that the gun not only fires a pulse wave that pushes back the enemies, but also fire tiny shards that go a bit further then the pulse that does very little damage, but inflict a status. This way, the gun would not be hindered by only having close range. This gun would be like the first version of jack and daxter's red gun And here is another jack and daxter video you guys might be interested in.
The charge attack could have that aoe effect or just more pulse range. I would prefer the aoe, but OOO is not good on converting their guns into bombs. Anyway, jack and daxter has many weapons that we could incorporate into the game. Like that electric gun arc wielder that was showed, i created a suggestion for it before named new gun and bomb. The gun is almost like jack and daxter's arc wielder, except it can only hit one enemy at a time, does not go through enemies, the player has a movement speed reduced and the gun has a charge attack. But yeah good suggestion.
@Trymal:
No, not like a autogun. More like a short range pulsar gun that pushes enemies away in a bit wider triangle like area in front of the player.

I like this idea
This would be a great space making tool to have in battle when enemies have you backed against a wall
(Anti-"Trojan Camp" gun)

Hmm.
Seems like the old callahan charge attack. Loved that old thing (still digging the new one though!), but knockback of that caliber shouldn't be on the standard hits. Charge attack? Sure.
More like a short range pulsar gun that pushes enemies away in a bit wider triangle
So an inverse pulsar huh? Typically that's the point of a sword or a bomb, but it might be able to work.
I'd say two shot clip with knockback higher the closer you are (less than a tile away, 2.5 tiles knockback. Within one tile, 2 tiles knockback. More than one tile away, 1.5 tile knockback), an the charge attack would do much more knockback (Same criteria as before, but instead 5 tiles, 3 tiles, and 2 tiles).
Inverse pulsar also allows for less damage at further ranges.
Interesting idea. You'll need to make it less of a sword and more of a gun to make it work out best, but I can see it fitting in (as long as it remains in one hand).

@everyone
Aww, thanks, you guys are flattering. But what should this new weapon be called? I would propose calling it the "Hard-Knock life" or something else that feels vaguely 1920-ish.

You can edit posts but also Topics by clicking the edit button. Like this you could move your other topic you created there:

into the suggestion forum. This will also allow you to change the title of a Topic to a more accurate and fitting one.
By doing so, you do not have to create multiple topics about one and the same idea.

Colors? I think it should be crimson and gold.
I think this is a good idea, just to get this straight, it is meant to be a blitz needle (Gatling gun) type of fire right? It shoots multiple at the same time? Or was I mistaken? But, I really like the gun.
