I said that military combat shotgun use - uses different criteria for determining combat effectiveness than civilians or law enforcement. They may well be concerned with terminal efficacy of the munition, but they also don't care about things that we care about (e.g., fliers). Whether or not a military uses Flite-Control or not, doesn't change that context.
I use flite-control/versatite in my guns, because my contexts are different than a military.
And I'm sure "that's what we've always used" is in play. I don't know when the last time any military tested buckshot munitions was. But I'm gonna guess I wasn't alive when it happened. If a military (in particular the US) had tested modern shotgun loads, they likely would have concluded what most of us have, that Flite-Control #1 is the superior load currently produced. I'd love for that to happen, because then maybe we could get some fucking F-C #1 regularly.
