Best Shotguns of the US Military

Описание: In close-quarters combat, few weapons are as useful as the shotgun. Here are three of the US Military’s best.

The oldest US combat shotgun still in use is the Remington 870. First utilized during the Vietnam War, it was later upgraded to the MCS or modular combat shotgun model. The MCS comes with three barrels of varying lengths, an M4-style stock with a pistol grip configuration, as well as a magazine extension, making it extremely adaptable.

The Mossberg 590A1 is the most commonly used military shotgun. These pump-action, 12-gauge shotguns are designed for heavy combat with a thick barrel, usually between 14 and 18.5 inches in length. Meant to be a simple yet brutally effective weapon, the 590A1 is most often used for combat or breaching, and is a popular choice for less lethal rounds.

The Benelli M1014 is a joint-service shotgun first used by US marines. This semi-automatic 12-gauge’s gas operation reduces recoil and makes it easy to control, and even though it’s less common than pump action shotguns, it’s proven its effectiveness in numerous conflicts
