Remington M870: Come over to the green side, Luke…

Article by one of the readers of the blog which used Remington 870 in US Army.

M870 shotguns have been used by US Military for ages. Division Recon Marines took them with them when they spearheaded the invasion of Iraq in 2003. When SOF teams fight in urban environments, shotguns, such as the M870, are the best thing for close quarters combat, good for point and shoot speed and accuracy, and to ensure that over penetration of walls in the urban environment does not lead to collateral damage. Counter-terrorism teams such as Delta Force assaulters use the M870 as a breaching shotgun. In this configuration, the M870, typically with a 10 inch barrel and with stock removed, is loaded with special breaching rounds which are used to shoot away door hinges and locks.
