Who needs accuracy when you have rate of fire? Or a shot gun.
I was actually thinking of multiple GAU21s auto turrets (split at 5m intervals) and grunts with drum fed semi auto shotguns.
Why not both?

Or high fire rate shotgun.
Accuracy by Volume
why not both?
As much as i love the Win M'97, it bugs me that humanity wouldn't use a more modern one, especially the random combo of full auto and shotgun like the AA-12
The aa-12 is shit it jams too much to be used
The Win M97 is more like an AK in tactical/logical views for deployment. Cheap, reliable, and powerful. why arm only 100 soldiers with AA-12s when for the same price you can arm 300, as pointed out the AA-12 is prone to jamming in such engagements, so instead of having 250 soldiers fighting because they don't need to reload or clear a jam, instead of 80.
All this and ww1 slam fire trench guns are badass
@@reven199 No, actually, they were not. The myth of slam firing trench shotguns is just that, a myth. It was literally invented by a single American Journalist.
The problem? The problem was actually the ammunition. Shotgun shells in WWI were not the same as modern shotgun shells, they were made of a thick waxed paper. The troops issued with the shotguns were also not issued bandoliers, so had to carry that sensitive ammunition loose in pockets or pouches. This led to a high incidence of damaged rounds, leading to very high feed failures and misfires.
To make matters worse, have you ever BEEN to North West Europe where the Americans fought in WWI? I have, I live there, UK to be exact. It rains here, a lot. Humidity is generally fairly high even on cool days. Know what rain or humidity does to those old shotgun shells if they are improperly stored? It causes, at best, casing swell, at worse it soaks the shell, causing, you guessed it, misfeeds and misfires.
Most American soldiers issued with shotguns 'lost' them as soon as they were unsupervised for more than a few seconds and replaced them with Springfield 1903's or Enfield 1917's so they at least had a weapon that would reliable fire after the first round.
So sorry to burst your bubble. If shotguns were so effective in combat they would still be used in combat. They are not. They have niche uses, in forcing entry situations for example, or in the hands of prison guards (a shotgun is VERY intimidating to an unarmoured individual). In actual combat however, it is of limited use in virtually any terrain you can think of with the possible exception of thick jungle, where it might have some use.
Because at the end of the day, here is a little consideration, do you honestly think nations who had fought WWI from 1914 had NOT tried shotguns? Oh they had, and discarded them after initial trials because of the points I highlighted. There is evidence for example of several platoon level experiments in the British Army in 1916 with semi automatic shotguns, and they proved so disappointing they were never issued to actual combat troops. Yes, they performed so poorly in tests at home the British never even considered issuing them to fighting troops.....
The idea that the Americans had 'stumbled' across a weapon that no one else in the world had considered when it came to Trench warfare is laughable and frankly wrong. The ONLY use the British found for shotguns in the trenches was fowling pieces for taking down messenger pigeons, and even then they considered it a waste of time arming a single man with an otherwise useless weapon when the SMLE would do the job just fine.....
EDIT: The king of trench clearing in WWI was not the shotgun, it was the hand grenade. Its why HALF of a British Infantry platoon in WWI were designated Grenadiers, and ALL of the others carried spare grenades for the Grenadiers.... The French and Germans were more or less the same.....
@@alganhar1don't care where you get your information.
I've slam fired a trench gun.
They trained all us cage kickers on the weapon system.
I was curious at first...
Enemies can deflect bullets and only a random spray could catch one off guard... I thought machine guns at first...
Then the humans landed and almost immidietely dug a trench... Okay, heavy machine gun spray... Then i remembered the title... "Trench + warcrime stick"... Shit... They're using trench guns!?
The good old M97, a true work of art
Why fix that worked before?

“We brought another 3 million down with us”
I started singing “it’s raining shotguns”, a parody of “it’s raining tacos”
Simple question of 'Why' is not needed
Ah yes, the 1897 warcrime stick. Since it has no disconnector, it fires as fast as you can pump it.
Breaking out the video game shotguns I see, since with an actual shotgun the effect they wanted only occurs a fair distance out unless those ballistic shields are the size of a quarter, especially using buckshot rather than something with wider spread but lighter pellets like birdshot
I think it's because the pellets in buck are too high energy for a wide dispersed shield and too spread out for a concentrated shield and sword to block all of them.
Never heard of an inverse choke?
@@donanthebarbarian5177 Nice joke
Birdshot is designed to reduce spread a distance.
Yeah. Insectoids with a hard carapace and a bunch of combat cybernetics aren't going to 'explode into bits' from a regular shotgun. They are effective against us because we are soft fleshbags and it doesn't take much to penetrate and do significant internal damage; but against anything tougher I would say they have next to no penetration and nowhere near the power to explode anything into pieces.

Cybernetics. The bugs are probably protected against stuff like that. Also, there's too much blowback potential; where the wind shifts and blows the toxic cloud in an undesirable direction.
@@taitano12 yes... it smells like crysanthemes
@@taitano12 gas masks
@@Slavicplayer251 Yes I know. I was pointing out why it would be pretty dumb to use chemical weapons in this war. If they didn't have the cybernetic breathing enhancements, among others, then, yes, absolutely use bugspray. Considering their apparent outlook and attitude, the collateral could be worth it. But with the cybernetic enhancements, it would be very unlikely to be effective. So they're off the table unless/until we know exactly how their breathing enhancements work. Then we can work around them.

I came at the speed of a Canadian the second I noticed something about war crimes!
I love how many history nerds watch this. Can-it's not a war crime the first time-ada
Amer-it's not a warcrime if you win the war-ica
Basically it’s not a war crime if you got nukes
Now imagine if they just gave the marines AA-12s and Benelli M4s with an almost unlimited supply of ammo instead of trench sweepers.
Though I think shotguns would become a galaxy wide war crime at that point.
Reliability issues, namely jamming, keeps the AA-12 out of mass deployments like this. Now if it was a Strike Unit instead they more then likely would have gotten AAs or SPAZs for their shottys.
Just remember the wise old saying, "It's not a war crime the first time."
@@animeyhem9780 yes the words of a very wise electrician
Not the first time Germany tried to have them banned as a warcrime before during ww1
Edit forgot the time
Now remember, slam firing is fun, but you still have friendlies on the other side of the barrel, unless you are facing away from the trench, then you’re good to go
To quote Clint Smith of Thunder Ranch:
“Terminal ballistics! Pistols put holes *in* people. Rifles put holes *through* people.
Shotguns, at the right range, with the right load will physically remove a chunk of shit off of your opponent.”
Shotguns make you more hole than human.

These are trench guns. You can slam-fire trench guns.
@@nathanielhill8156 *1)* That's Incorrect - the "click click" refers to pulling the forearm rearward and then forward to chamber a shell. It doesn't matter if you're slam firing or not: you're still going to click click boom - you're just going to click click boom without having to release the trigger between booms. *2)* I was quoting a song.
@@ObservingLibertarian2) I know about the song, I was being a smartass.
1) the second click and the boom happen at the same time. Because the boom is louder, it covers the click.

Automatic shotguns can make quite a royal mess outta target, I wonder how much of a shock it would be for poor aliens when Humanity remembers some more "funni" things like KS-23 shotgun, which is same caliber as Soviet Autocannons, and can be loaded in both analogue of 00 Buck, or a singular Slug or Dart round -- imagine That, but used by some more physically strong Aliens being fired using higher cap mag-fed reimagination of this weapon in direction of incoming waves, or just re-factor some Turret mounted weapons to create a belt-fed Shotgun
The 50 cal Browning Machine Gun already fires a round similar in size to the 12 gauge shotgun. With a minor modification to the chamber, a larger smooth bore barrel, and non necked down 50 cal BMG brass you would have a ready made shotgun machine gun. You basically keep the majority of the Browning, machine the chamber for a 4 gauge all brass shell, and mount a 4 gauge smooth bore barrel. Your typical 12 gauge shot shell has 8-12 00 pellets, a 4 gauge would have between 32-48 00 pellets. This is a literal wall of lead and that's just one shell. Assuming a stable fire rate of 450 rpm that's 14400 to 21600 00 pellets being sprayed in the enemy's direction. From one gun. At that volume of lead, spread does not matter and effective range could be 100+ yards. 3 or 4 tripod mounted positions with decent ammo supply and those Bugs basically walk into a blender.
@@thomasschulz2167 wow! Im mostly enthusiast with some level of "redneck engineering" ideas of how to click together some theoretically mechanically sound ideas, wasnt expecting someone good enough with "how its made" department to actually join in and provide a real conversion concept here)))))))

@@robertschumacher2707 Lol!
I will one up that. Do you know what shotgun field artillery is? You take an anti aircraft turret and aim it at ground targets. The bullets can be set at any distance, and you can set them to burst early so it spreads even farther.

People need to do research on military weapons they missed out on lining the trench with mark 19s alternating between high explosive and fleshet rounds, there's also claymores and a beautiful box called bullet storm.
11:49 No they didn't ! Sigh! Of course they did! Crazy apes! It has a twisted logic i'll admit, But the Old version? Dude there are marvels of technology in that area. Advanced designs, specifically made for combat. No reason to play around with hunting gear. Its a matter of style dude!
Dude, we have combat shotguns that make that thing look primitive. As for the "war crime" thing, the Germans were bitching ,because American troops were using shotguns to clear captured trenches. Shotgun against shovel or bayonet, shotgun wins every time!
In spite of all those improvements, we still see the AK-47 as the most common used rifle amongst military forces. Cheap, Reliable, and powerful enough to get the job done.
No, actually the Americans were NOT using them like that. They tried, but the shotguns kept failing. Not because of the shotgun itself, but the ammunition. 1917 - 1918 shotgun ammo is NOT like modern shotgun shells, they were made of waxed cardboard. These things were carried loose in pockets or pouches, which meant an extremely high likelihood of them being damaged through normal combat activities (like diving for cover), or through getting damp. You ever been to North Western Europe? It rains here, a lot. Humidity is generally high.
End result? A misfire of feed failure rate for those shotguns that was frankly dangerous to the USER, not the enemy, the user. American troops quickly learned to 'lose' their shotgun and 'borrow' a rifle that would actually fire more than one round before misfiring or jamming.
The King of Trench Clearance in WWI was not the shotgun, it was the hand grenade. There is a REASON a third of a British, French or German Infantry Platoon by 1918 were Grenadiers, and everyone in the platoon carried a bag of grenades, either to throw themselves, or to replenish the Grenadiers. These were armies that had fought in those trenches for FOUR years. You HONESTLY think they did not consider shotguns? They did, the British Musketry School experimented with them in 1915 and 1916, and found them so unsatisfactory they were never issued to front line troops even on a trial basis.

Ngl, kinda wish they hag Gen 12 Shotguns instead of good ol' Trench Sweepers. More reliable full auto shotties compared to AA-12s, and they're capable of rivalling minigun levels of Rounds Per Minute considering how many pellets they can put downfield. Add a capable range of 100 Meters if you just don't care and you've got a damn good shottie for war. Although, nothing says "fuck you" quite like the Winchester 1897 slamfiring buckshot into your torso to rip you in half.

As much as I love this story, I think the author might be overestimating how much the pellets from a shotgun blast spread out.

M134s and the bigger auto-cannons like gau-19, m61, gau-12 and gau-8 can saturate an area with fire rates varying from around 1000 rounds per minute to 6000 rounds per minute. The boomsticks are cool but it sounding like the air in front of you is being unzipped to unleash hell would be cool too.
