i think that's the way you can get rid of it - remaking the shotgun.

What a great job you did with the light in front of the weapon!

Well,
The original shotgun appears ok when Lara is holding it. But it´s thin like paper when it´s at her back. I thought it was the same object in both situations, but it seems to be two different objects or animations. I´ve checked it closer and the shotgun is 3D when it´s at her back, but some surfaces are not textured or transparent. So I think it can be textured with Strpix but did not try it yet... I don´t think things like weapons animations are shown in Strpix...

It's possible to fix it.
In some WADS or maybe even just one WAD its okay, you have to find them and merge together. I did it before but this is way back so I can't remember now.

I took a closer look at the shotgun, it seems that when lara uses it it still looks like a thin wafer shotgun but it isnt, if you open any wad and look at mesh 10, you will see the shotgun, as on lara's back if you scroll around you can see the front and the sides are textured, but look at the back, a black surface, i tried to texture but it doesnt works, seems like the shotgun in wired mode has no surface there.

I dont know much about ouputting with stripx as dfx file then modify it, but i am sure people surfing around who might have more knowledge ?

It was a bug that came with the WAD’s included with the Editor. (And some Revised WAD’s even..)
The real problem\bug is the back of the shotgun is missing a Mesh.. Thus giving a paper thin effect.
Just extract the Shotgun from a TRLR level and your problem is solved.
