has gloss | eng: A riot shotgun is a shotgun designed or modified for use as a primarily defensive weapon, primarily by the use of a short barrel. The riot shotgun is used by military personnel for guard duty and was at one time used for riot control, and is commonly used as a patrol weapon by law enforcement personnel, as well as a home defense weapon by private citizens. Guns of this type are often labeled as tactical shotguns or special-purpose shotguns to denote the larger scope of their use, however these are largely marketing terms. |
