What is the best kind of shotgun?
I’m 12 and I want to fight in the army or marines and I want a shotgun when I grow up. I’ve been doing research on what the best shotgun is and I got the remington 870. Is that the best or is there a better shotgun? (I’m talking about military forces, not hunting or anything).

Your research is correct.
The Remington 870 is a STAPLE in shot gun ownership. People who have 20 shotguns STILL keep the 870 they grew up with.
Remington also makes a youth model of the 870… depending on your size and ability to handle a full size firearm.
QUESTION – What does a shotgun have to do with military service?

If you are going to join the military.. you will use the weapon and kinda shotgun they want you to use..

shotguns are not really used in the military, atleat not for combat. ive seen them used for only 2 things during my time in: slugs for blowing open locks on doors, and non lethal rounds kept in a few shotguns in the guard shack at our EPW areas.
anyway theres several good shotguns out there, really depends on your own personal feeling for it though. personally i like mossbergs, especialy the 700 series. it just has the most "right" feeling for me, but everyone is different. for what its used for in the military though: a gun for blowing the lock off a door is a gun that blows a lock off a door. doesnt need to be anything too fancy or special

Obviously the best shotgun is the Super Shotgun from Quake II.

I have a Winchester 97 Trench Shotgun with the original bayonet. It is definitely an attention getter. But it sure kicks like a mule.
