    Literally every country has pump action shotguns. The Russians have the Saiga as an issue shotgun already. Why not just deploy those as backup weapons. Or have 1 designated squad shotgunner.

      I don’t know how effective a shortened pump-action shotgun would be. The spread on those has to be pretty bad, and the pump action makes it to where you have to break aim between shots.

      I don’t know if that’s the reason, but I’d rather have my old Remington 1100, or even an over under.

        OK sure, but my point was it would be a huge step up from this underbarrel bolt-action garbage they’re showing there.
