Realism has something to do with gameplay, it gives some indication what
unrealistic things could be and behave. Unrealistic things also follow the
same logic rules as realistic ones. (Look at 95% of the aliens from movies,
they are more less human-like, human-thinking, etc.) This is the interest
of exploring the reality. Why proceed by blind experiment, when all the
knowledge verified by the centuries of human experiences are just around
the corner? No point to create everything from the scratch.

That's a neat vague argument you have there, but it doesn't really tell us
anything about how DoomRL's chaingun should work.

Contrawise, "if you want a single-shot weapon you'll have to use an
inventory slot up" does.

Well it is ;D. It does normal shotgun damage then :-D

I didn't remove that, but I think the strange results are Windows's
fault. I'll have to try that "updated console colors" patch someone
posted here...

Thank you! That works like wonder! And quite simple too... Too simple
to realize on my own, it seems!
