Shotguns, 12 gauge (Medium Machine Gun Team, AMSTA-LC-CSIM). In
the late 1970s, U.S. Armed Forces took steps to procure a shotgun
built specifically to military specifications. The 12 gauge shotgun
is a manually operated (pump), repeating shotgun, with a
seven-round tubular magazine, ghost ring sights, and equipped with
a bayonet attachment and sling swivels. The shotgun is used for
guard duty, prisoner supervision, riot control, or any situation
requiring the use of a weapon in close quarters. Various models of
shotgun are used by all services. The Medium Machine Gun Team
supports two models of shotguns; the Mosberg model 590, and the
Winchester model 1200.
