Automatic shotgun-Ammunition-They generally store ammunition in detachable box or drum magazines in order to decrease reloading time, whereas most pump-action and semi-automatic shotguns use under-barrel tubular magazines. | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
Automatic shotgun-Ammunition-Automatic shotgun ammunition choices are slightly limited because the fired shot must provide sufficient recoil energy to reliably cycle the action. This means they are not compatible for use with low powered rounds, e.g. less-than-lethal ammunition. The most common shotgun shell used in co... | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
Automatic shotgun-Strengths and weaknesses-A standard shotgun shot fires multiple small projectiles at once, increasing the chances of hitting the target. Shotguns have a short effective range of about 50–70 metres (160–230 ft), but provide a lot of firepower at close range. Automatic fire enhances these effects, due t... | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
Automatic shotgun-Strengths and weaknesses-Automatics typically have much shorter barrels than pump-action shotguns (especially hunting shotguns). Short-barreled shotguns have a very high chance of hitting close range targets, and can even hit multiple targets in one area, which is ideal for close combat situations. Lo... | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
Automatic shotgun-Use-Automatic shotguns are intended for use as military combat shotguns. They typically have a high rate of fire and relatively low recoil, making them ideal for engaging targets in a fast-paced, close range combat situation. They are able to fulfill many different combat roles due to the wide variety... | milkshake721/2.1M-wiki-STEM |
