Сombat shotgun can shoot in 2 directions simultaneously if cursor in the exact place of origin of the pellets.

It is also possible shoot backwards if the cursor is between the character and the point of origin of the pellets.

I can't reproduce this behavior with normal shotgun, only works with combat shotgun.

Sounds like viewtopic.php?p=461762#p461762 though both directions at once is new.

Thanks for the report. I don't consider this worth changing since it isn't breaking anything and code wise there's no simple fix that won't likely break other things.

The root issue is: the direction the pellets shoot is not the orientation between the character and the mouse but a offset from the character (the "end of the barrel") and the mouse. So while the character may face a given direction it has nothing to do with the direction pellets will go.
