Make players weapons play sound at random?

I wanted to make it so that the players shotgun will play a random sound upon fire. I have 3 sounds in mind.

You'll need to make a SNDINFO lump in which you define a new version of "weapons/shotgf" sound that is used by the shotgun when it fires. To make it alternate between any number of randomly chosen sounds, you can use the following structure:

weapons/shotgf1				NEWSOUND1
weapons/shotgf2				NEWSOUND2
weapons/shotgf3				NEWSOUND3

$random weapons/shotgf { weapons/shotgf1 weapons/shotgf2 weapons/shotgf3 }

Where NEWSOUNDX are your sound lump names.

What are the other "Firing" definitions? I want to make this apply to all of the other weapons. And is there a way to randomize the players hurt and death sounds?

Any sound lump can be randomized using the above structure. You can find the different names from here, including weapon, player pain and death sounds. It's from 6 years ago, but I don't think any of that stuff has really changed, so you should be good.
