Are they still an effective option versus modern carbines? WHY?
I still qualify yearly with mine. Don't get me wrong, I like having as many tools in my toolbox as possible, however, my issued carbine is much lighter, carries more ammo, and is much easier to reload.

I'm surprised departments let officers use the same shotgun for both. We have LL shotguns but they are outfitted with orange stocks.I guess I'll be the contrary guy. I prefer the shotgun for many applications as I like the versatility of being able to go from buckshot to slugs to less lethal as the situation requires, and it's hard to argue with the terminal ballistics of a shotgun. The capacity issue doesn't bother me, but I am coming from a non .mil perspective. I do recognize that a shotgun is more of a specialty tool, and I also agree with the description that it is a "thinking man's weapon".
