#3 optical or electronic sight for the first round, mostly to help in target ID. However, mounting a flashlight works so well that it's outlawed for hunting. Now all them fellas need is a baited field.

#6 Chuck, maybe bait but I'd say definitely a cure.

#7 If the Marines want to borrow it, I've got a great anti-personnel weapon - a 10-gauge double-barrel. Hard to find shells, but the effective range is about a quarter-mile from the left (full choke) barrel, and half that for the right (half-choke). Kicks worse than a mule, but it's effective. Kinda unwieldy with the huge 36-inch barrels, but I'm sure there's a Marine out there big enough...

#11 It's an Italian made firearm badanov :D

Well the Marines were using Mosburg 12 pumps
My "house gun" has a pistol grip, no stock and a bore sighted red dot laser.

Rifled sugs can be accurate. 12 gauge is like a 50 cal I think.

#12 Bore diameter of a 12 gauge is .72, rifled slugs will weigh about one ounce. It'll ruin your day, all right.

#13 caliber of a 12 gauge is .729 inch

#14 It was the rifling part, I thought shotguns were smooth bores.... like some posters.

#15 They put the rifling on the slug and many slugs are in a sabot hence 50 cal. The Sabot takes up the the rest of the space.
