I'm thinking this is why you never see him fire the shotgun in the movie. the most you see, is him work the action in the climatic everyone lay waste to the jungle scene.

Look again. the M500 has a lug to attach the barrel to the shotgun to the bayonete lug of the rifle. As far as Billy fireing the shotgun there is a part of the raid on the jungle camp scene where they do put rounds through the shotgun.

So they just toke a piece of steel and welded it to a shotgun barrel and bayonet lug? I'll have to watch the film again and do alot of freeze framing. I can't see anything attaching the 2 receivers together. Not saying your wrong, you are the movie guru after all. But what about the scene after the raid when they are bugging out of the area and Billy has only a M16. Was that shot before they did the welding of the barrel to the bayonet lug, or did the weld break and they said "screw it", "shoot the scene anyway no one will notice". I always figuired they used a adhessive and the hot humid weather of Mexico caused it to fall off. On a side note one of my Ar-15's has the same handguards that Billy's rifle has. They are not typical M16A2 style.

What, no mention of the 24-shot Manville 12-bore?
