Black powder revolvers of the 19th century could suffer an unfortunate chain-fire malfunction. Sparks or burning debris could escape and set off the propellant in other chambers. Bad in a pistol, catastrophic in a rifle where your off-hand is holding the stock in front of the cylinder.<br /><br />Another piece of speculation I came across is the idea that shotguns with low penetrating projectiles - like birdshot - would be ideal for use in environments where breaching the hull would be a concern. A habitat dome or engine room comes to mind. I'm not so sure - while small pellets have less inertia than a slug or bullet - they do penetrate, and few things are designed to stop munitions.Chainsaw Aardvarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09748189589265198775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-726484495782035142.post-1809796205443243492015-05-31T12:53:36.212-05:002015-05-31T12:53:36.212-05:00Thank you for your interesting and informative blo...Thank you for your interesting and informative blog.

While many weapons using this feed system have acheived significant popularity in recent years (Saiga 12, Adkal 1919) notice how few are used in military or police circles. The reason? Feeding reliablity. Rimmed cartridges, like shotgun shells, have issues feeding from traditional box magazines as the rims frequently hang up inside the gun. This issue can also be seen to a lesser extent on revolver cartridges in pistols and, to a lesser extent still, semi automatic .22lr handguns. All can have reliability concerns to different extents, and this is why cartridges designed for semi automatics have a rebated rim. <br />While some proprietary 12 guage shells have come out designed to fire in a specially configured gun with a box magazine, I wouldnt expect these to become mainstream while tube-magazine fed shotguns continue to do their job adequately.

When you said an expanding slug for home defense "would lilely travel through the wall and kill your dog," it would likely pentrate no more than your average pistol round, just leave a larger hole. This is due to the low sectional-density of shotgun slugs, although slugs with a tungsten core have been used for anti-armor use. <br />Another point that needs to be touched on is rifled shotgun barrels: they are for slugs only. Period. If you try to shoot buckshot through them, the shot will scatter into an irregular circle pattern with no shots in the center, which is very ineffective. This is due to the centrifugal force imparted on the load from the riflings. If one wished to have a futuristic shotgun that could also fire grenades, etc., they would be better off adding folding fins to stabilize the round, as was done on the FRAG-12 round, which deploy when the round leaves the barrel. <br />A thought occured to me yesterday, in a conversation I was having about body armor. When a bullet strikes a hard surface, wether it penetrates or not, it fragments and sends shrapnel in all directions, a process called spallation. Wounds generated from this shrapnel are often enough to take a soldier out of a fight as the shards can easily strike the face, neck, or eyes and cause serious damage. These two guys I was talking to yesterday have developed a new type of ballistic plate armor that is designed to catch the majority of this spall, and contain it within a mass of kevlar and superplastics. While this is a great advancement, and one example they presented was level 4 rated which means it can stop an armor-piercing .30-06 load, it still only covers a limited area of the body. My thought was this, as armor continues to advance and become more resitant to rifle rounds, might we switch back to shotgun-style loads to have a greater chance of striking where armor is lacking? While shots placed in these areas would be less lethal they would still be more effective than rounds defeated by armor. <br />But still, shotguns suffer from pentration issues, and if this tactic came into widespread usage users would likely adapt their armor to use soft materials to protect against shrapnel and shot, as neither rarely have the pentrating power of rifle rounds. And this could perhaps generate a resurgence in interest of flechette shells, as these could, if properly stabilized, offer enough penetration to pierce soft armor. <br />Overall, I beleive shotguns will remain niche weapons in perpetuity as they lack the range and speed of a carbine, but they will remain an effective and versatile tool for certain applications.

Needle rounds are something that pops up from time to time in sci-fi works, Battletech's Star League had them. Cannons used to be loaded with all manner of household shit to kill infantry with, including nails. In Iraq, IED have been loaded with nails. At short range, nails can be deadly and effective. I've seen nail gun accidents at my job in an Level-II Trauma ICU<br /> and the wounds were fucking nasty. However that was a very close range, like an inch or two. The issue with nails is that they are not aerodynamic. I've watched on youtube, people loading nails in shotgun shells, and while nasty, the nails often penetrate sideways, and I am not sure increasing the size of the nail would help matters. Oddly, those little washers discs were some of the best homebrew shotgun ammo. <br />Let me know when the wargame is finished, FWS could help with getting the word out.

The difference between An automatic shotgun and a C.A.W. is that the C.A.W. has a rifled barrel to accommodate some esoteric ammunition choices.<br /> The ammunition choices include, but are not limited to; High explosive squash head rounds, (H.E.S.H.) good against body armor, gyro jet rounds for power armor and light vehicles, and of course, shot and slug rounds. There are also a slew of other types of rounds, but they would only be useful in role play scenarios.<br /> The two rounds I will have to rethink because of this article are the flechette and discarding sabot rounds. I have to rethink the D.S. round because its penetrator is not much more than a single big flechette, with all the related problems.

The barrel is impressively wide, and almost no one has a rifle like this. They are custom-made, and extremely expensive.<br /><br />I must admit to always wanting an rifle chambered in an "elephant gun" cartridge. For graboid-hunting purposes. XD<br /><br />In the real world, everyone loves shotguns for self defense... we actually have a Benelli Super 90 at home for just that. I wouldn't want to be the home invader staring down the barrel of that piece of artillery.<br /><br />Actually, I'm not sure that the idea of a "laser shotgun" is totally silly. A DEW could be set to impact as wide an area as you like, though this will of course mean the the amount of energy being absorbed per unit area of the target is reduced as compared to a tighter spot, not good for burning through stuff. But you could ignite clothing and burn skin that way. But this is best thought of as a radiant-energy flamethrower, not a shotgun.<br /><br />Shotguns fire cluster of projectiles that spread out into a pattern. The best way to copy this with an energy weapon is to fire multiple beams that diverge into a pattern over distance. There is not reason a laser weapon must fire only one beam, after all. But considering the real characteristics of laser weapons, once might also wonder why one doesn't allow computer controlled optics to steer the beam and tattoo lewd symbols onto an enemy's head from a thousand feet away!! <br /><br />Speaking of that, I think you might appreciate this- a robot with a laser rifle!! http://skul4aface.blogspot.com/2012/08/laser.html<br /><br />Then again maybe computer-controlled optics would be too fragile, and someone will hit upon the idea of sticking some beam splitters and extra mirrors in the path of the beam to convert a laser rifle into an awesome laser shotgun.

I've been looking forward to this one ever since I started lurking here.<br /><br />One factual point I'd like to bring up, though: the shotguns used in the Battle(s) of Fallujah. The M1014 was certainly in use, but like any newer piece of equipment, there weren't enough of them to go around. They only went out to select personnel. Most of the line platoons (at least in my battalion) were issued old, dinged-up Mossberg 500s, because that was what we had laying around the armory. To my knowledge, the Remington 870 was never a standard-issue weapon for regular Navy and Marine Corps personnel. Of course, Special Ops units would be a different story. <br /><br />I can't really speak for the Army. <br /><br />Anyway, keep up the good work! Daniel J.
