Shotgun Military

What do police and military need a shotgun for?
I’m just wondering about something. Assuming they have access to pistols, rifles, what do they need a shotgun for? How is tactically better than say M-16 or some other weapon? Do they use bullets or buckshot?
Right now I’m in Russia picking whether to just get my shotgun for hunting or also apply for a rubber bullet pistol permit. But starting this summer these pistols are treated like hunting weapons, meaning you can’t carry them loaded or use within city limits. I’m also having trouble imagining a scenario where I’d use that pistol and not get into trouble for doing it. If it comes to that I might as well use the shotgun.
Breaching, Close Quarters Defense, Riot Control, Room Clearing, and generally just scaring the holy hell out of someone. These are all things I have used a shotgun for in both law enforcement and the military.
Breaching using buckshot or shoklok rounds to take out padlocks, door locks and door hinges
CQB/Room Clearing using mostly buckshot. It has a wider spread, so more likely to hit your target on the move, and it is less likely to penetrate walls unlike a rifle or a pistol. So you dont have to worry about hitting your buddy in the next room, or you neighbor across the hall
Riot Contol, we use rubber or sandbag rounds. They are less lethal and will incapacitate someone quickly and efficiently. They also are starting to make a taser round for the shotgun.
Just the sound of you pumping the action of a shotgun tends to gain instant compliance from a suspect.
There are many specialty rounds for the shotgun to include slugs and now the new 12 GA Grenade rounds. The shotgun is an extremely useful tool.

Game Maker Games $8.96 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Iji is a freeware videogame featuring platform and shooting elements, developed by Daniel Remar using Game Maker (version 5) over a period of four years. It was first released on 1 September, 2008, but five subsequent versions have fixed bugs and added features, with the latest version (1.6) released on 6 March, 2010. Set in a military complex in modern day Earth, the game follows Iji, a young female caught up in the invasion of the planet by the Tasen, an alien species. Awakening after an aerial bombardment, Iji finds herself enhanced with nanotechnology and, learning of the Tasen and their invasion, resolves to convince the aliens’ leader to retreat from the planet, guided by her brother Dan via the complex’s loudspeaker system. The game was critically acclaimed upon release, with reviews especially praising the replay value, the player’s ability to guide Iji on different moral paths and that it was created by a single developer. Iji is described by Remar as System Shock 2 in 2D. Players control the titular character, Iji, an ordinary human female who has been enhanced with nanotechnology following the invasion of Earth by an alien species known as the Tasen. Iji must navigate a research station while being guided by her brother Dan, who communicates via the station’s loudspeaker system, in order to convince the aliens’ leader to retreat from the planet. Though the game’s plot is linear, interactions with non-player characters change according to the player’s actions, leading to one of multiple endings. The player’s primary choice is between pursuing Iji’s goal either as a pacifist or by engaging in violence against the alien threat. Iji’s nanotech energy field functions as a shield, and players begin the game armed with a shotgun. Seven … More: |

Lee Child CD Collection: Killing Floor, Die Trying and Tripwire (Jack Reacher Series) $19.99 KILLING FLOOR – “I was eating eggs and drinking coffee. I was in a booth, at a window, reading somebody’s abandoned newspaper. Outside, the rain had stopped but the glass was still pebbled with bright drops. I saw the police cruisers pull into the gravel lot. They were moving fast and crunched to a stop. Light bars flashing and popping. Doors burst open, policemen jumped out. Two from each car, weapons ready. Two revolvers, two shotguns. This was heavy stuff. One revolver and one shotgun ran to the back. One of each rushed the door. I just sat and watched them. I knew who was in the diner. A cook in back. Two waitresses. Two old men. And me. This operation was for me. I had been in town less than half an hour.” – From the opening of this searing tale of honor and revenge where Jack Reacher, a former military cop, hunts down his brother’s killers.DIE TRYING – In a Chicago suburb, a dentist is met in his office parking lot by three men and ordered into the trunk of his Lexus. On a downtown sidewalk, Jack Reacher and an unknown woman are abducted in broad daylight by two men – practiced and confident – who stop them at gunpoint and hustle them into the same sedan. Then Reacher and the woman are switched into a second vehicle and hauled away, leaving the dentist bound and gagged inside his car with the woman’s abandoned possessions, two gallons of gasoline…and a burning match.TRIPWIRE – Jack Reacher is settling into lazy Key West when his life is interrupted by a stranger who comes looking for him. When the stranger turns up beaten to death in the Old Town cemetery – fingertips removed – Reacher knows whomever the man was working for is not a friend. Reacher follows the trail to New York. |

Northern Disclosure $3.99 A new memoir by Toby James Nunn, reveals personal stories of the faces behind the military uniforms as young men learn about the Army and about themselves during combat in Operation Iraqi Freedom. Nunn presents both his own experience as an infantry squad leader and the experiences of the soldiers under his command. Northern Disclosure is about their exploits, but it is also a coming of age story. Soldiers mature quickly in a war zone, and it is not uncommon that an inner struggle ensues, pitting their natural humanity against an aggressiveness programmed by years of training. Nunn follows his unit’s progress as their training moves from the U.S. to the desert sands of Kuwait before heading into Iraq for combat. Nunn’s unit was the first to train and fight as a Stryker Brigade Combat Team. Northern Disclosure rides shotgun as Nunn and his soldiers take the Stryker vehicle into combat scenarios in Iraq. Readers will also be given a ground level perspective of the middle stages of the effort to reestablish the Iraqi nation. Nunn was one of the first leaders to face the challenge of training and establishing local security forces in Iraq while dealing with the cultural differences between his soldiers and the Iraqis they trained and fought with. Northern Disclosure is a military and human interest story that will appeal to readers who are interested in a true insider’s account of the war in Iraq. |
