The dude said they don't use them, i said they do so do the police.American military may not go bucking people at the moment but they have and will again.otherwise this post was about the lethal range on a shotgun especially combat grade hardware.why when any military based thing is mentioned... everyone says Merica.thats not the only military in the world nor the only application of modern ranged wepons.

Not to be overly nationalistic, but the US military is the only force in all the world that combines great numbers, training, and technology. You will find superior militaries in one or maybe two of the areas, but non have the balance the US has. Shotguns are poor combat weapons, they are heavy, limited purposed anachronisms. If we are playing Rainbow six and doing house clearings, shotguns are great, but in an open environment with some close quarter opportunities they should be considered more of a detriment... this is why they ignore basic functionalities of the platform in games. Don't get me started on the effects of moisture on shells v. cartridges.

No worries... these sort of discussions are enjoyable.

I do agree with you and respect you're experienced knowledge ,I was just talking about lethal range of one especially military grade.i was just complaining, rarely do I use the shotgun as you said basically worthless, but in this game I enjoy it.no joke on ammo care completely agree, we usually wax cap our shells.
