I just had this idea.
It would be of very limited usefulness, of course, but where you need it it would come in handy. I think it would be handy for small firebases surrounded by forest or jungle, in a defensive format. Beyond that it would be useless, mostly, but what the hell.
A belt-fed shotgun, tripod mounted, and very big, like a Browning M2. Cyclic rate of 600 or more rounds per minute. I'd have a 30" barrel, and a special choke, and would fire special high velocity, high pressure, big bore shotgun ammunition.
Then I thought of the Mk. 19 belt fed grenade launcher. For the M79 and M203 launchers, they have huge 40mm shotshells. And while the Mk. 19 uses a different type of 40mm grenade, it could certainly be adapted to this purpose.
I'm just thinking such a thing would be handy if you happened to come up against a human wave attack, or, as I said, had a perimeter of thick foliage about 75 yards from your firebase.
Just a kooky idea.
