even army didnt adopt bar right away
the spread on a sawed off is not that significantly greater afaik
Is it?
it is
I've never even seen one
army didnt adopt the bar until last possible second
Wouldn't being shot with a normal shotgun close range be just as bad as being shot with a sawed off
the wad comes out earlier
greater spread also means less pellets in a given location, reduces lethality
its about the wad
@Decimus_Pax_Britainnia yes, but less barrel length lets the pellets spread further sooner
@Decimus_Pax_Britainnia it would be worse
you use that ultra close you are basically shooting a fist at someone
it wont actually spread as much
the spread makes it easier to hit someone close up
it doesnt spread all that much
It's a street fighting weapon
it stays in the wad longer
and hurt more people i guess
you can look at slow motion videos of shotguns being fired and see
its situational
But in a street fight it's deadly
same with combat/breaching shotguns
So it'd go all over you body instead of just spread in a small area of your body
Yeah shotguns are actually really specialized weapons
it doesnt quite go like that
its practical for walking up to someone, pulling it out of your coat, and blasting them from 10 feet away
thats how it was used
Ahh
the wad cone doesnt spread as much until later on
it oblitereates whatever is close
the spread didnt have much to do with it
You wouldn't take a hunting shotgun to a battle like you wouldn't take a tactical shotgun hunting
it was an assassination weapon
ITS THE WAD OF SHOT REEEE
WAIT SO TRUMP IS ENDING DACA
yes
IS THIS CONFIRMED
also shorter meant it was easier to handle inside
so far, yes
