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 9 күн бұрын

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.

@tommyspann8852 11 күн бұрын

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. 🇺🇸

Not really, by the last quarter of the 19th century more people in the US lived in cities than in the country and that trend never reversed. In WW1 during basic training the majority of soldiers had to be taught to fire a weapon as they had never done so.
