I read the article mostly then skimmed the rest.

Surprised of all the shortcomings of the pump shotgun. It strikes me that they are mostly imaginary.

I do personally prefer the semi auto tho.

I believe that is what they were using in the first Expendables movie.

The US has used shotguns in combat since its earliest days. I personally know that in ‘Nam the point man with the 12 gauge and buckshot was feared and effective. The is no better short range killer.

As long as TL 2A or higher wearable armor exists...

Oh, and btw, one does indeed need to aim a shotgun.

Oth, your generic thug may not have thought it through and is wearing a toy mask and a t-shirt, I think I won’t take my chances....

Didn’t the Browning A5 (humpback) have a long service life with the U.S. military?

A friend of mine has a Saiga 12, which is basically an AK-47 action which fires shotgun shells. Takes 10 round mags and drum mags.
