mea culpa...
I have repented: henceforth I will always refer to smoothbore firearms as "SHOTGUNS."

I have an 870 ready to go for home defense (plus a G17 and a WASR 10/63 in different locations) I feel totally comfortable with it in that role and I I’ve always used pumps since I was little but if there was ever a situation where I’m leaving my house with a long gun it will certainly be a rifle

I love me a 12 gauge, and I’ll always keep one around. But if I have to go mobile, the shotgun is getting stashed so I can carry more ammo.

Against an armored stack of black helicopter-delivered agents of the New World Order, which are coming through the front door-
I would prefer to face-shoot them with a Benelli m2 loaded with #4 buck, over an AR. |

I've had my Mossberg Mariner for a very long time. It rarely gets used but it's nice to know I have it. As far as the bayonet capability, that goes with my M1 Garands, M1917, or 1903s.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By StraightMiataMan: oh boy here we go again. Tl;dr - shotguns work, carbines work better. With the exception of birds there's nothing a shotgun does that something else doesn't do better. They're largely old tech with objective flaws and failures in comparison to rifles that live on because of their price for versatility, and fuddlore. I don't know, the military thinks you're pretty good for breaching doors |

The left side is all banged up from being carried via a sling (see pictures from Katrina), but internally it appeared to be unfired, it's not now

IIRC I read somewhere that when a big game hunter (Africa I think) would just wound something and it crawled off they would send the lackeys in the bush to look for it and that they would be armed with shotguns. Probably 12 or 10 gauge.
Made perfect sense to me. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Dace: Heavy gun, extremely heavy ammo, low capacity and slow reload time. Whats not to love in a zombie apocalypse... Exactly. Shotguns are only useful is a very narrow spectrum of situations. A good Semi Automatic Centerfire Magazine Fed Rifle with lots of ammo and magazines would serve you better in just about every possible situation. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By ban-hater: Is a belt fed shotgun possible, or has it been done before? Yes, yes it has. Interesting. A 12 gauge mini gun with 00 buck would be interesting as well used in an area denial context. Picture a Claymore type wall of lead. I know we already have Claymores but are they really used today? |

I just sold my Mossberg 930 Field Security Combo because I thought it was going to replace this old girl that I have had for years and have packed a lot of miles up and down a lot of mountains.
I thought the tang safety was going to work better but the whole 930 just felt off. The 870 was the keeper in the bunch and with the 12.5" barrel it handles like a charm.  Woohoo first post

In the right environment a shotgun will be fine. I'd want additional weapons on hand as the guns run out, if there is no opportunity to reload in a timely manner
No way would I be trusting those DAPS and side SAPIs to keep from getting bitten Maybe they're better than nothing |
