After watching Hickok45 knock the gong with 1oz Fosters, I got to thinking:
Would a semi-auto 12 gauge shotgun loaded with tactical rifled slugs and equipped with a LMO (low-magnification optic) and extended tube magazine be a useful LEO option?
I'm think it could fulfill the light anti-vehicular roll like the .50 Beowulf is touted for but I would imagine 1oz hardened penetrator slugs like the Brenneke Special Forces would be even better than .50 Beo for the job. With something like an FN SLP w/ 8+1 cap and a Trijicon 1.5x or similar tactical low magnification scope or even a red dot, seems like a great lower cost option for guarding vehicle check points and disabling vehicles being used by violent criminals out to 100 meters and even beyond.
Thoughts?
