British SAS and shotguns

[yoni]

I had a guy shot and killed right in front of my unmarked police car. He was shot with a 20 ga., slug and he did just like the cartoons. He stiffed up and over he went.

Too bad the dirt bag that shot him, got off since the "good" was holding a 22 rifle in his hands at the time of the shooting.

Shotguns are no joke, but I still would rather have a rifle due to more versatility.

John Wick approves:

A guy back home found out his Wife was cheating on him, he hid in a closet with a twelve gauge and shot them in the act and after the deed he kept shooting.
I was told they were both cut in half and I believe it.

My understanding of how it's supposed to work might be off a bit, but I didn't think the door breacher was supposed to be the first through the door.

Shotguns certainly rattled the Germans enough in World War I that they filed a protest against their use.

Yes, everyone burning each other down with every kind of poison gas you could think of and they were worried about some shotguns.
Pretty stupid

Shotgun wounds look gruesome. Even if they aren't fatal (like say birdshot) they look devastating. Psychological impact.

I've seen "after" pics of a 870 used at "inside the room" distance with standard 00 buck, it can happen.

Pro tip: When the police walk in on you with an 870 and "you" in their sight picture, don't try and outdraw them.

LOLOL.... Yep....

First surgical cric I did in the field was for a suicide gone wrong, tried to take his head off with a shotgun. Hell of a mess. Definitely the more gruesome trauma scenes, and I would throw IEDs/VBIEDs/explosives into that conversation.

Nothing a few ride alongs with a crime scene unit to a few decomp scenes won't cure.
