Yeah. That's a shotty. A lotta hitmarkers with that one. But it has [censored] range. And still decent power.
His concerns about no snipers are partially mistaken because they have light rifles. Which seems somewhat like them in a basic sense.
shotguns actually have a range of 15-30 yards if using a SBS (short barrel shotgun with no choke) however it also depends on what type of shot you are using (slugs, bird shot, 00 buck, 000 buck, less lethal, flechete, HE grenade warheads, etc.) the choke, and the length of the barrel. i have seen people make 150 yard target with slug loaded shotguns (people hunt deer with them too.) when you are bird hunting, you are using smaller and high quantity pellets in bird shot to extend the range to 20- 40 yard shots at ducks.
In a sense how? (Remember non-gun person here, lol) Is it because they both have a long distance range? But rifles do not have long-distance scope like the sniper guns?
Ooh, I do like rifles, though.
I am guessing he is using buckshot in the video, if he was using slug shells, it would be only a single slug hitting a target like a rifle, but with buckshot he is able to hit with spread of the larger pellets.
