what would a war look like if there was only shotguns
as in, say mexico and columbia had a war and both only used shotguns
how would that work out tactically?

I'd have to assume tight patterning buckshot would be the weapon of choice.
>more similar to trench warfare, as shotguns are great against people, but can't really break any defenses
>defenses vs shotguns would be very easy to make, and hard to destroy/penetrate
>a lot more casualties per fight
>a lot less KIA per fight
>a lot more injured soldiers returning to fight again later after healing up
Sabots everywhere.
"What if X tech didn't exist" threads are dumb.
Gif unrelated.
>shotgun tank that shoots cannonball shot
Related, how well does .45 colt work in a .410 bore shotgun, and would the pump action work?

Violent conflict wouldn't exist anymore because everyone knows the sound of a shotgun cocking and when people hear that sound they will be so scared that they will run away.

people would probably get tired of the shit range and inherent inaccuracy and instead use smaller high velocity rounds instead of shot and invent rifling to stabilize it in flight for better accuracy at range

>Two armies stand on either side of a line furiously racking their shotguns until one side flees and the other claims the lost ground.
War is heck.
When shit breaks down, people who choose the flight option will be met with a terrible outcome.
Exactly like they did during musket warfare.

Flechettes everywhere. Or some other evolved long range accurate technology. Who knows.
Belt fed machine guns in 12 ga. Carl Gustav's in 00 ga. AA emplacements fire ungodly amounts of birdshot.
It's a rednecks wet dream...
Theyd start using slugs to get added range. Then theyd use rifled barrels to give those slugs added accuracy. Then the only way to improve would be to use a mag fed design like the saiga to increase ammunition capacity. Then you have ak47s.

Holy shit
what would a war look like if there was only passive aggressive debate
as in, say mexico and columbia had a war and both only used one-sided arguments without actually listening to each other
how would that work out tactically?
