The Deadly Evolution Of Close Quarter Combat | Weapons That Changed The World | War Stories

The look on the guy who brought the double barrel shotgun after seeing the damage that it can inflict was priceless 😂😂

Will willis is a soldier forged in fire. Get it?

“Pistols put holes in people. Rifles put holes through people. Shotguns, with the right load and right range, will physically remove a chunk of flesh off of people and splatter them all over the floor and walls.”

germans said shotguns were a crime but they use poisoned gas

The Winchester 1897 was used in WW2 as well, mostly by the Marine Corps in the pacfic theater. A Pump gun was preferred because of the humid, tropical climate. Some versions of the Benelli M4 also have a 14 inch barrel.

I don't really think shotguns have evolved all that much in the last 100 years. The mechanisms have changed SOME, but the result is identical. Many small pellets flying at the target at relatively high speeds and creating mayhem on arrival. The speed of the cycling is faster and the number of shells has increased since the 1800's, but thats kinda it.

10th Mountain Division. My platoon had a small shotgun that attached to our M-4 carbine in Afghanistan 2003. It fit under the 5.56 barrel and was a 12 gauge, magazine fed, held five rounds, semi automatic, you had to use the charging handle to load the weapon and pull the trigger to fire it. Every time we wanted to use it to breech a door, we had to call our command and ask for permission to fire the shotgun. We were always denied by our command. It was frustrating and a waste of time to not even fire the shotgun in a combat zone. We finally got to take the small shotgun off our M-4, as it was the dumbest thing we ever had to carry in combat and never used.

30:16 you can see Will grimace, knowing, "no way dude, you're gonna smoke me in this!"

Why is the wooden club not noted? It is in use for close quarters combat since stone age.

One of my favorites is the Remington 870.

I thought it was called a trench sweeper

Such high quality content for free! thnx,guys.

Will has one of the best jobs on the planet 👍

That flinch at 23:04!

Should have had the Ithica model 37.

I have a lot of shotguns. Most of them lost in a boating accident tho. I have the Benelli M2- it gets the most use. Benelli M4; I won it at a three gun comp. Benelli Patrol. Mossberg 590, 590 Pro, an old 590 from the 80s with heat shield. My favorite is my SOB13.

Thank you. 👍
