What makes a shotgun tactical?

[CNADNSL8-5]

Just so we can stop ruining the Tactical shotgun picture thread with all the talking, I started a new thread. If you want to TALK this is the thread to do it. You can post the pics in the picture threads, not here. Maybe the mods can clean up the other thread an put the comments here?

OK. Now discuss.

Black with everything but the kitchen sink hanging off it, and it usually weighs about 30 pounds.

It's use...

Ones that have pictures taken of them but are not fired?

You had so much to say in the picture thread, and now given the chance to talk, this is all you come up with? Please put the same responce here as you did in the other thread.

It's use...

can you expand on that? what about its design?

 

[yyyyy]

You can cut and paste....


SillyMike is right... It's use, not it's accessories. (or color!)

what type of use would make it tactical?

The word "TACTICAL" on its side.

I still feel that it should be "COMBAT" or "RIOT" shotgun.

A barrel of no more then 20" and no less then,What, 14"-12.5", with a OAL of not more then 40".

It should have a mag cap of 5 to 9rds

It should carry exta ammo on it.

It should have ether rifle or Ghost ring sights.

It should have a light.

It should have a sling.

What else?

Nothing. There's no such thing as a 'tactical' anything. It's a marketing term only.

the type of use where it was part of a tactic, used to complete an objective .
i.e
used as a breaching tool, so a team/operator/Soldier/Steven Segal can gain access to a room/building to neautralise/capture the objective

the tactic being - shotgun breech of the entry point to gain access

Police used to use the old 870 with wood stock and forearm for years, probably still do. That's tactical enough I think ain't it?

Bingo. Add enough useless junk that someone thought up to make a few bucks and soon all that junk is a must have way to clutter a perfectly good shotgun. Yay tactical!

It has to be quite short, though. Full length mirrors are common enough, but double wide ones aren't.

So that would mean that its design would also be a part of its use.

what difference does the word tactical make?

 

[OldRanger]

When I hold one, it becomes tactical.
