I was talking to someone last weekend who said something that I am trying to confirm. He is 84 years old and was drafted during the Korean War. He did basic training (army) at Fort Ord, California and was eventually stationed in Hawaii for his service.
He told me that his unit was issued .410 shotguns with slug loads for routine training and use. I found this rather surprising.
I can tell that his mind is slipping a small amount on other topics, so I am not sure if this statement about the .410s is true or being remembered incorrectly.
Can anyone confirm this statement?
