Best combat shotgun

[Hoser]

Again, reloading tubes sucks.

You need to practice it more. It isnt hard or slow.

Its pretty difficult to make the argument that reloading one round at a time is going to be as quick as a 10 or even 5-round magazine change. No matter how fast you are.

The advantage is administrative reloads are fast and easy. God forbid you need to use all 8 rounds in a tube. Emergency reloads, you're kind of screwed and will want to switch to sidearm until the threat is over.

You wont be topping off the rounds in your Saiga magazines while behind cover in a firefight, that's for sure.

And 99.9% of us will never see combat, much less combat with a shotgun...

It's like the trany debate: Manual vs. Auto - some folks could use the extra help.

Rgr what Hoser said... Isn't three gun more about strategic planning on how to accomplish the stage? I could see a tube fed having a great advantage in most situations when needing to "top off" a round or two instead of trying to fill a mag and reinsert, etc...

But, just my know nothing two cents. Can I have change please?

But isn't that the point of the thread? It's about combat shotguns...

Are you going to argue that the best combat shotgun is a side by side?

Only if it's a 4-bore! HAHAHAHAHA!

3-gun is not "Combat." It is a game. The targets dont shoot back. That is why this thread makes me laugh.

If you want to know what shotgun can hold up for lots of fast shooting like in 3-gun or skeet/trap/SC, I can chime in.

I know of only a handful of people on this site that have spent time in a war zone. And maybe one or two of them might have carried a shotgun. Every time I have been deployed, all I had was a simple M9 and I didnt get to shoot it, not even once. And that is fine with me.

This.
A shotgun has it's place, so if you can nail your target with one chances are a follow up shot won't be too critical. If there are waves of em comin your way even the most "combat" ready shotty won't save your ass so kiss it goodbye.

Hard no, slow yes. I've been shooting 870's for a long damn time, and you're right, its not difficult at all.

If you can reload 10 rounds in under a second, I give you mad props.
