    Y'all using the typical Olin-mfg 00 buck?

    Probably. TBH I haven't seen our duty ammo in a while, our training ammo is Olin frangible buck. The last time I armed up with a shotgun the rounds weren't in a box.

    Actually that's not true, the last time I carried a shotgun I had our less lethal load out

    Somewhat related. Does anyone have experience with this MAC 1014?

    James from TFB TV is known for killing the Turknelli copies. Supposedly the MAC version is better than previous products.

    In many conversations with former Vietnam War infantry grunts, my small sample showed that the Marine Corps sometimes issued an Ithaca M-37 shotgun within a platoon. Army grunts never recalled seeing shotguns in the field. My comments are fyi only since we can't draw conclusion from them.

    Carried a Mossberg 590 along with my M16A4/203 on many a Husaybah Iraq foot patrol in 2004... being one of two in the platoon who "spoke" shotgun fluently had its benefits.... and deficits, like figuring out how to manage two long ass fixed stock guns at the same time. Iraqis did not like when you pointed that big ass bore at them tho, worth it just for that...

    With steel shot. Why steel? Environmental concerns…?

    Are hardened drones a possibility?

    The M37 is a very slim and smooth shotgun. I keep one in the Lost River Casa (along with my Browning A-5). Mine is the Featherlight Deerslayer version. They have a bit of recoil with full power buck and slug loads, due to the lightweight and slim design, but it is a very nice handling little gun. Great gun for traveling as well.
