//the release versions of the minimod are attached to the SCP, Rebirth and Arcaniac topics.#0
as mentioned before, the current way of handling the hybrid shotgun (and its one slug) only partially masks, and not resolves the age old problem with the shotgun not being removed from the model once it's looted from the corpse, essentially making the shotgun exist at two places at the same moment. Einstein wouldn't be proud.
I already have a working setup that solves this ready to go, but there is a question of how the (now real) shotgun should act upon the death of its hybrid. two equally valid setups come in mind;

this minimod will make all shotgun hybrids wield an actual shotgun, which will be removed off the hybrid's hand once it's been looted from its corpse (solves that weirdness of the shotgun staying on the AI model even though you've taken it). using an actual shotgun object also makes things look nicer (and display the proper shotgun model should a weapon mod be installed as well).
installation:
-load the mod with higher priority than SCP (if used)
there are things you should know about;
-the single slug will be in the hybrid's inventory when running SCP and the supported FMs, and loaded in the hybrid shotgun when running vanilla.
-if running vanilla, the shrunken shotgun may look oddly small when compared to other weapons. load the SS2 Object Shrink mod to remedy this: https://www.systemshock.org/index.php?wap2;topic=8282.0 (RealSG needs to have higher priority)

I would like to say "both!" (randomized), but I assume that only one version is possible?#1
If that is so, I would choose the second (classic) version over the "dropping before dead" version.
Though it looks cool and would surely contribute to the atmosphere, it could potentially be annoying (reminding me of overlong dead animations in more recent game).

I vote for second as well. Somehow the first one looks a bit stupid with him dropping it immediately.#2

delaying the drop is trivial.#3
I think randomization would be possible (think something like two shotguns attached to the hybrid, NVscript randomly stimming one, the stimmed one would then have to destroy the other one, and then perform its animation - rigging this in the gamesys would be pure insanity. nuh-uh, not today), but lets just try to pick one for a start.
