@CompassDrifter I'm gonna take a guess: the shotguns are intended to be used against small boats with outboard engines, which buckshot is able to disable pretty handily; and, it is easier to score a hit on an outboard with buckshot than something like a M4, especially in rough waters.
@zadokism Your understanding of the dynamics of the of the Pacific war are factually wrong. From this misunderstanding you're drawing incorrect conclusions and trying to apply them to much different circumstances in the present. Also the MOAB is a conventional weapon.
