    “Pistols put holes in people. Rifles put holes through people. Shotguns, with the right load and right range, will physically remove a chunk of flesh off of people and splatter them all over the floor and walls.”

    10th Mountain Division. My platoon had a small shotgun that attached to our M-4 carbine in Afghanistan 2003. It fit under the 5.56 barrel and was a 12 gauge, magazine fed, held five rounds, semi automatic, you had to use the charging handle to load the weapon and pull the trigger to fire it. Every time we wanted to use it to breech a door, we had to call our command and ask for permission to fire the shotgun. We were always denied by our command. It was frustrating and a waste of time to not even fire the shotgun in a combat zone. We finally got to take the small shotgun off our M-4, as it was the dumbest thing we ever had to carry in combat and never used.

      Hol up,
      So far so good, there are only maybe 2 shotguns used in the military that can be attached under a rifle, the KAC Masterkey and M26 MASS, both of which aren't semi-auto. The KAC Masterkey is a pump action shotgun, while the M26 MASS is a straight pull bolt action shotgun. None of these are semi-automatic.
      There is a high chance that this guy is lying, although to give the benefit of the doubt, they were never allowed to fire the shotgun they were issued with. Still, not very reliable.

    I don't really think shotguns have evolved all that much in the last 100 years. The mechanisms have changed SOME, but the result is identical. Many small pellets flying at the target at relatively high speeds and creating mayhem on arrival. The speed of the cycling is faster and the number of shells has increased since the 1800's, but thats kinda it.

    The Winchester 1897 was used in WW2 as well, mostly by the Marine Corps in the pacfic theater. A Pump gun was preferred because of the humid, tropical climate. Some versions of the Benelli M4 also have a 14 inch barrel.

    This is a SPECTACULAR documentary. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 BTW, in WW1, the Germans protested our use of the shotgun. I THINK* it was the Hague (?) that ruled that the trench gun was not a tool against the rules of warfare. The Germans fussed because they argued that it maimed soldiers and it didn't cleanly kill, ergo they claimed that it was a weapon that caused suffering. 🇺🇸
