Favorite Shotgun

[HorseSoldier]

12 Gauge buckshot already weighs a ton and takes up a bunch of space as is, without tacking links onto it . . .

Just make it hopper fed, that simplifies things.

That would work too...

[HorseSoldier]

Indeed.

The one thing I really like about any manner of shotgun loading besides manually is that one could get beyond the "shoot two, load two" manual of arms. Had to do enough of that while moving to cover and such in the police academy that, while I can run an 870 really well, I hate pump shotguns on an instinctive level . . .

As for fav shotguns:

I just picked up a Benelli a police trade in, I have fired one a few times at the range and a scout had one when I was their primary weapons guru for their merit badge. The shotgun was 12 gauge, it was the short home defense version, this thing was still almost bigger than the kid using it.

A sweet system! And honestly it is the only semi auto shotty I have used in earnest, and would endorse as one I would carry in harms way. I have fired the SPAS, but it was so long ago, I just don't remember. A good system but that is all I remember.

Although for game purposes, the idea of a character having a Browning auto is a tempting idea for a characters primary personal weapon. After all a shotty is much better at close range than a pistol and much more forgiving when it comes to pressure shooting and aim or lack of aim

PS Paul, you can petition to have the restriction overturned so you can utilize hardware again.

It's probably best I don't. I can get pretty damn depressed sometimes.

Got me beat, my disability rating only adds up to 125%. (Unfortunately, they only pay me 100%). However, if the bill passes, I may be eligible for CDRP next year -- the VA rates me at 125%, but the Army rates me at 50%, and an extra $500-700 per month would be quite nice. Unfortunately, the bill has has a low chance of passing...
