Doesn't it shoot 7 pellets? Also, the horizontal spread pattern makes sense for the first game, given the lack of any worthwhile verticality.
It's also kind of possible IRL.

The supershotgun is really good at close ranges, and is good against groups of low tier mooks, or for somewhat reliably stunning arch-viles.

The regular shotgun has much tighter spread and uses half the ammo.
At an 'across the street' distance, the super shotgun has quite loose spread, while the pump shotgun still has reasonably tight spread.
Due to it's horizontal spread pattern, it's also fairly good for shooting at rows of mooks up on ledges, as well as for shooting incoming cacos.

I've always felt that the Seal/MACVSOG style of the Ithaca M37 is about the best approximation of the Doom shotgun you can get
>horizontal spread
>long magazine tube
>no ejection port on the sides of the receiver

>no visible ejection port on the left or right side of the receiver
>has a spread pattern that's horizontal
Real enough for me.
