Combat Shotguns
U.S. Navy SEAL with shotgun
In the late 1970s, U.S. Armed Forces
took steps to procure a shotgun built specifically
to military specifications. The 12 gauge shotgun is
a manually operated (pump), repeating shotgun, with
a seven-round tubular magazine, ghost ring sights,
and equipped with a bayonet attachment and sling swivels.
The shotgun is used for guard duty, prisoner supervision,
riot control, or any situation requiring the use of
a weapon in close quarters. Various models of shotgun
are used by all services. The Medium Machine Gun Team
supports two models of shotguns; the Mosberg model
590, and the Winchester model 1200.
