A double barrel shotgun shooting 2-3/4" #1 buckshot fires 16 .30 caliber projectiles with one pull of the trigger. Fire both barrels and you have fired more projectiles than an AR-15 with a thirty round magazine. A normal pump shotgun will hold 5 shots without modification. That is to me is the same as 80 rounds. Theoretically you are also launching projectiles at a higher rate of fire than a machine gun. Is a shotgun not a Assault Weapon?
