What does the shotgun emoji mean?

A classic, low-fi way to tell someone they're about to get blasted.

This emoji is a nostalgic nod to the iconic first-person shooter perspective popularized by 90s games like DOOM. It is commonly used in Discord chats to playfully threaten someone, shut down a bad take, or express aggressive humor in a way that feels intentionally retro and over-the-top.

When to use it

  • Shutting down a really terrible opinion quickly
  • Playfully threatening a friend in the chat
  • Reacting to an absurd or ridiculous statement
  • Adding a retro gaming vibe to messages
