“A shotgun!?!”
A shotgun, an assault rifle, a claymore mine or whatever — it is all the same to the MSM.
The Marine Corps has in fact a very fine Benelli Semi-Auto 12 ga. shotgun.....built to Marine Corps “specs”.
It is issued for “close work”...
Shotguns are VERY effective in certain scenarios, and are valued and sought after by those “in the know”.
Civilians can purchase a very similar model from Benelli..
