The later clone of the 1897 Trench Gun by Norinco, as expected of most Chinese guns, has a cheaper and rougher fit and finish, but otherwise it's quite authentic, to the point that these clones, just like the originals, really don't like the more modern steel cased or aluminum cased shotgun shells (nor shells with a fully plastic case and hull combination), the extractor claw wants brass. They can also be slamfired.
Here's a pickup sprite of an 1897 Trenchgun which I made by painting over a very low resolution stock photo which had a nice and sharp outline. I haven't made a full set of first person sprites, because someone already made ones like 15 years ago, which weren't fantastic and could need reworking, but then I found out someone already reworked those (or maybe they painted new ones from scratch), and they actually look pretty fucking superb.
Only thing lacking is a version with the bayonet, and the accompanying lunge animation, which would be kickass for Doom.
