I've been playing Overwatch for almost two years now and my main is the man himself Mr. Reinhardt
i always thought that Reinhardt needed a Side Arm ( although he would be so OP ) so I decided to design one for him on my free time . my first thoughts were on giving him a Revolver but then i figured out that even a shotgun Can be a Side Arm for The Crusaders and then i thought why not both and the result was the Crusader Shotgun .
I also took Heavy Inspirations from the Designs from the Video Game "DOOM"
took me about 20 hours to finish designing this weapon.
would be awesome to get your feedback on it .

and yes i actually have no familiarity with stylized designs so i went a little overboard with details
For a siderarm, even for Reinhartd, it's too big, or better: too long.
For a sidearm I would have made it shorter, more compact.
e.g. like the Halo Granade Launcher (http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/File:H5G_Render_M319GrenadeLauncher.png)
or a classic double barrel sawed off shotgun
(just from the propotions).
Neitherless it looks really nice and clean, I like it.
but yes i actually aimed for something smaller but the more i got into it i noticed bigger is kinda better . specially for him . so maybe it's not so much of a side arm but a secondary ranged weapon
and thank you for your feedback i actually did some sketches of a sawed of shotgun too but i decided not to go with it
BTW the grenade launcher looks awesome . would've been a nice reference
