So the US Army, with its panchant for friendly fire, is getting an even more indescriminate weapon?
BTW, Aren't shotguns in warfare banned by the Geneva Convention?

The Geneva convention doesn't mention them, they were banned by the Hague convention however, which the U.S. of A. never signed up to. Your first point is still very valid though.

I'm not really one to talk on that score, though. After all, I managed friendly fire on the event 3 training exercise.
Must be the American aspect in the character.

He's already an off-world civilian massacre waiting to happen, can't see it'd make a lot of difference.
I mean it's not like you're giving him a nuclear weapon, is it?
OK, tell me nobody has given Calvin a nuclear weapon. Just reassure me, yeah?

Ohh dear...
It's a shame Christmas has gone, as I know what I would have asked Santa for..!
All it needed was Samuel L Jackson doing a new version of the AK-47 speech..! “When you absolutely, positively, got to kill every melon farmer in the room there IS NO SUBSTITUTE..!”

The spread pattern on shot isn't that great, you can see that from the targets.
Given that a) the weapon has (or at least seams to have) less recoil than a standard battle rifle, and certainly less than most SMGs, the mildly indiscriminate aspect of using shot has be countered by being more accurate than other CQB firearms.
(You try keeping an Uzi, or similar on target on full auto)

Tungsten flechettes anyone?

Looks similar to the USAS-12.

Still not as cool looking as the Pancor Jackhammer
