This comprehensive volume recounts fighting shotgun use in the Old West, the introduction of the magazine repeater, German protests against American shotgun use during World War I, the lawless employment of shotguns during the roaring twenties and desperation thirties, American use of shotguns in the Pacific campaigns of World War II, British experiences with shotguns in Malaya, American shotfun experiences in Vietnam, and more.
