Basically a 2 gauge shotgun mounted to a boat for beach assaults such as jabal and oman.

Yes, they are, but they are a specialized weapon not used under all circumstances. Breaching is one application, but they are also used for less-lethal rounds (for riot control and perimeter security), and are excellent in extremely close combat such as urban terrain and the jungle. Outside of designated squad breachers or point-men, you usually see them in the hands of military police and other security forces (like the Marine Security Guards at US Embassies).sekiryu wrote:Random: Are shotguns even used in the real world military? The only time I've ever seen them used is for breaching, and since there's no breaching in PR....
Not really a sidearm, more of a multipurpose secondary weapon, like the M203. A breacher will carry either only a shotgun as a primary, or a shotgun in addition to a primary weapon. In the second case, some shotguns can be attached beneath a rifle instead of a grenade launcher and others are slung and transitioned to when needed.Airborne91 wrote:It's usually used as a sidearm to a rifle or SMG from what I've gathered. I'm probably wrong though.
