This may sound mildly autistic, but would a shotgun be an effective weapon to use either coaxial or port-mounted? Something like pic related used in a similar role as the M231.
Could Shotguns Work on Armored Vehicles?

If the projectiles were like little shaped charges, maybe.

No.

That didn't happen though...

with a longer barrel and in a city maybe. Also maybe flechettes.

Only use for it would be anti-personnel riot control vehicles as a "less lethal" option.
Mini-baton rounds, beanbag rounds, dye/paint markers, irritant gas, etc., (mixed in a belt as desired) could be used to help contain situations.
If that doesn't work, switch to flechette shells or buckshot.
Lincoln Parker
Modern tanks have anti-personnel grenades mounted on the outside. If enemy troops are getting too close they fire out like 20 feet and detonate around the tank. It covers the entire area around the tank in shrapnel.
Tanks also carry canister shot which makes the main gun a giant fucking shotgun.
Xavier Wilson
proximity fuse? doubt it. the efp from a charge that small would be tiny and have a short range. if you could stabilize it you could probably impact fuse it like a mini rpg warhead but again, the penetration would be very little because of the tiny payload.
Anthony Wilson
Use against technicals then?

I need to learn more about tanks, that's fucking neato

The cool thing about smooth bore cannons is that they can fire anything that fits in the tube. There are all sorts of rounds they fire. There are even guided rockets that are similar to the hellfire missile made to fire out of smooth bore cannons. Israel uses them a lot.

Why stop there? What about flamethrower for extreme area denial?
Mason Collins
or little WP rounds?
Parker Miller
So, what you're telling me is that this is perfectly legal under the 'sporting use' exemption, correct?
>he doesn't even hunt birds with canister shot
Andrew Ramirez
That last part at 1:20 is awesome. It takes out all those man sized targets at the same time.
Cooper Young
Geting a few rounds of buckshot through the airfilters of an Abrams tank might just do the trick
Carter Roberts
That depends. Do you want to kill people more than 20 meters away, or just make a lot of noice?
Ryder Ward
I really wish there was more information about this madman and his belt fed auto shotty AR upper.
Blake Ross
The real question is, what does a shotgun offer that a machinegun doesn't?
Even a belt-fed 12-gauge still has significantly limited range compared to a 5.56 machinegun.

>backscratching tank story
"Damn it Earl, you've told that story a hundred times already!"
Brayden Ross
Maybe if they fired DU slugs or something ridiculous like that
Granted, the firepower to make it effective would probably be too much for a shotgun
Jason Taylor
yes, but you're better off with an M2.
Brody White
Not so long as they're made from lead and with a normal amount of powder. After going through that you might as well just use .50
Heli-mounted crowd control though :)
Logan Nelson
The back scratch is done with the coax, retard.
Caleb White
Remember when user liquefied a particularly annoying crow, with a wax gravel slug-turned canister shot fired from a ghetto bazooka?
Brayden Hall
Surely someone has made shotgun grenades.
Joseph Fisher
>officer gets cannister while everybody else uses coax
Carter Powell
No.... if made automatic will still be sluggish, brutally loud, and the slugs are simply too large to be belt fed reliably. Nothing wrong with the mounted .50 caliber machine guns they already have. Not to mention shotgun accuracy is shit out past 50 yards and long range is typically where your targets will be.
Samuel Thompson
I have a glorious dream Jow Forums, of one day creating a mounted eight guage belt fed double barrel shotgun to put in the back of a technical. Pretty sure an eight guage slug will fuck up next to anything. Especially if you make explodey slugs. Is my dream autistic Jow Forums?
Henry Price
its illegal, so dont go posting it on Jow Forums and get ludy'ed

Isn't that just a 40mm with HEDP?
Jack Ross
It won't be illegal if it's built to be semi auto. I'm pretty sure that you wouldn't want it to be full auto anyway, and "as fast as you can pull the trigger" is probably fast enough to destroy everything that's downrange and the range itself besides.
Ryan Collins
Why not full auto dragonsbreath rounds?
Jayden Powell
Has anybody made 12 gauge HEAT rounds? 10 gauge? Atleast 4 gauge?
Hudson Johnson
Theres a thing called canister shot, theres a reason why almost everybody ditched it
Joshua Lopez
Hello fellow Crossout Player
Jaxson Jackson
>Israel uses them a lot.
Not really. GLATGMs are pretty much a meme.
Joseph Ross
A HEAT round's effectiveness is directly proportional to the diameter of the projectile, so something that size would be pointless compared to an AP or explosive round of the same cost and size.
If its a dream, then I'd rather a PCTA OCSW, with both their fancy airburst payloads available as well as shotgun rounds. 25mm is what? 5 gauge?
