Zombieman Rifle

The Zombieman Rifle (actually named the M-211 SIGCOW) is the weapon most commonly used by the Zombiemen. It can be grabbed from a Zombieman being killed by the player.

Concept and Creation
The Zombieman Rifle is actually the "Rifle", a weapon that was originally going to be in The Ultimate DOOM but was eventually scrapped during development. A few years later, modding community Realm 667 brought back the Rifle as a mod and called it the Zombieman Rifle. In the mod, the weapon had a recoil that pushed the player character backwards slightly after firing a single shot. Mad Squirrel Mods felt that it may annoy the player and decided to remove that feature.

History
The M-211 SIGCOW was designed in 2009 as a long-range weapon, sort of like the Mauser M18. It was mostly given to members of UAC's private security, including the security detail for the Mars expedition.

Design
The rifle shoots a single long-ranged shot from an ammo clip. Regardless of just firing one shot, it can actually shoot faster than the Pistol.

Trivia

 * It used to be that the Zombiemen only dropped an ammo clip upon death. Now, they can drop Zombieman Rifles.
 * The Zombieman Rifle's actual name "M-211 SIGCOW" was a name given to the rifle in the novel DOOM: Knee-Deep in the Dead.undefined
