SMG and Shotguns in CQB

I also find it hard to fault pump action feed mechanisms, they've worked reliably for well over a century, so if I have to do home defense or room clearing that sort of reliability is a plus for me.

You have a good point there.

Hey everyone I thought i would add to my post about US shotguns I had typed much more information but I timed out the site typing about them and lost it when I posted so I thought I would give a little more information on US shotguns...I found my training manual TM-9-285 from 1942 and it lists these shotguns and shows there disassembly and care.

M97 Winchester
M12 Winchester
M10 remington
M11 Remington
M31 Remington
M520 Stevens
M620A Stevens
M720 Savage
M37 Ithaca (my favorite)

Vietnam era they added few more.
M870 Remington
M67 Savage
M77 sevens
M1200 Winchester

There where several other commercial shotguns used in Vietnam as many of these where no longer in service by then however there are several photos of soldiers carrying M1897 trench guns in RVN....they are just a rock solid design.
