Proof that for close quarters you can't beat a 12 gauge. What ammo would take a mans head off ? 00, slugs or sabot ?

Depending upon the range to target, all of them.

they really need to stop taking these pricks prisoner and just start killing them all.

At close range trap loads (7 1/2 shot) will take a head off.

I remember about 20 years ago there was a gang robbing banks in Toronto and the standing orders for staff was to hand the money over and be as cooperative as possible (probably while saying sorry....it is Canada).

After a bit they seemed to have become bored and so decided to kill one of the polite tellers for no particular reason. The newspaper article noted that the fatal shot had been to the head, and that the robbers had wielded a pistol and a shot gun, but it had not yet been determined which weapon had been used to fire the fatal shot.

I doubt the Benelli pictured in the article is what was used.

Waiting for the media to scream it wasn’t fair and assert such weapon violates the rules of warfare.

“...as two of the bodies didn’t have heads...”

Considering two were wearing suicide vests, the head shots were probably wise shots.

I’d also like to know what kind of shotgun SAS uses.

5 shots in 7 seconds, 2 of them head shots after evaluating the targets as having suicide vests on... That is some impressive training, because you know that had to be almost all reflex and muscle memory.

I had a Benelli M1 Super 90. It was a great shotgun with one exception. It was the worst kicking shotgun I ever fired. It was actually worse than a light single barrel.

I think they have done all kinds of things to try and lessen the recoil.

The M4 is gas operated and typically those have very light recoil.

I can’t imagine it taking someone’s head off tho.
