I remember hearing that during WW1, the Germans had a bounty on any soldier carrying a Winchester M97.

I worked in Baghdad from ‘07 to ‘12. the Iraqi’s were scared sh*tless of the 870’s we would carry into the venues. Which is precisely why we carried them. Some venues, they wouldn’t let us in if we had one.

As a cop, I learned that there is no more universal sound that the racking of a pump shotgun.

So, while having an M4, tricked out to look like it came out of the armory from CIA’s Ground Branch or Delta Force, with all those bullets, there’s nothing more intimidating and easier to use than an good ol’ fashion shotgun.

My 2 cents

The dukhai were also not real fond of the Gurkha security folks who liked to carry shotguns, particularly at night. Not only were they real good about letting fly with the shotguns, but afterwards if there was anything left, the guys would take care of it with their knives.

How about we attach an amplifier to the piece to raise the audio up a few db when you rack the slide? LOL!
