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.

[@Lavabird827]

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.

[@wildcat8598]

@Lavabird827I thought he said you had to pull the charging handle and pull the trigger each time to fire it? I could wrong but that was how I read it.

[@nzannetti]

@@wildcat8598 he does say that it’s semi automatic too. Which makes no sense, but who knows? He doesn’t say what kind of unit he was with either, just that he was 10th mountain 2003.

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.

[@Bambihunter1971]

Yep. As was the SPAS-12 and SPAS-15. The SPAS-15 is the best, but are really uncommon in the US. The M3 is a close second. The SPAS-12 looks cool, but is really clunky with poor ergonomics. Most of them have a paddle safety that is very unsafe and the crossbolt replacement safety was offered for a while, but is out of production now. If it wasn't upgraded, be careful... I've got 2 of the 3 currently. Both have folding stocks and extended mags.

THE TRENCH GUN WAS AS SUCCESSFUL AS IT WAS BECAUSE IT DIDN'T HAVE A TRIGGER DISCONNECT. THUS ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS HOLD THE TRIGGER DOWN AND MANIPULATE THE PUMP, THEN WEAPON FIRES WITHOUT PULLING THE TRIGGER AGAIN.

[@Lavabird827]

That’s only partially the reason, the other part is that this was one of the most commercially available shotguns at the time

I ha e the grandfather, the Benelli M1 super 90. I was shooting 3" groups using sabot slugs at 100 yards. Not trying to brag, just saying that it can reach out farther, accurately than what he said.

[@matthewjay660]

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. 🇺🇸

[@jackdoherty6146]

0:20-0:53 if all that is true then why is the assault weapon the weapon of choice in games movies and pretty much everything close quarters combat related?

[@t0xic371]

If by "assault weapons" you are referring to the M4 platform, then for video games it really depends on the game you're playing. A lot of games nerf (debuff) shotguns intentionally because they know they'd be too overpowered. Take some of the older Call of Duty titles for example. Those games would make the spread on shotguns tighten when aiming down sights for some odd reason and would also drastically decrease the damage at range with them. So that leads people to use the automatic rifles and SMGs that have a higher fire rate, capacity, and time to kill than the shotguns. In games driven more towards realism, like Insurgency: Sandstorm, shotguns can be used to great effectiveness to clear out rooms and even hit targets at longer ranges since the developers didn't intentionally hinder the performance of the gun for balance reasons. In VR shooters such as Hotdogs, Horseshoes and Hand Grenades, which prides itself on having super realistic gun handling and ballistics, shotguns with slug rounds can almost be used to the same effectiveness as sniper rifles, while having the option to load Buckshot to dispatch enemies closing in on you. On the movie side of your question, there have been plenty uses of shotguns. Take John Wick for example, there is a scene in the 2nd John Wick where he kills multiple attackers in tight corridors with a custom Benelli M4 shotgun. John Wick also uses another Benelli Product, the M2 in the 3rd movie to kill multiple heavily armored PMC type characters. In Chris Pratt's "The Terminal List", one of the characters utilizes a Beretta 1301 Tactical Shotgun to clear out a compound of hostiles. There's probably countless other appearances of shotguns in movies, those are just the ones off the top of my head. If I had to guess the reason AR-15 platform rifles show up more often in that role is due to the iconography of the weapon, and also the versatility. If someone is on their lonesome and has to take out multiple enemies very quickly, a rifle with a higher capacity and a shorter barrel length is ideal. Shotguns tend to show up more often in squads of people to fill a dedicated role, such as breaching doors.
