What about a 6 guage? I'm waiting for that baby to be made. That is the most powerful guage and would leave you wondering if you had any shoulder left to speak of.

That's a technique in use today to minimize/eliminate shotgun recoil.

Figure over 500+ years in the future that the Halo2 marines will probably have even better techniques & they'd be more than capable of handling the 8' shotgun shooting magnum loads.

Take care,

8 gauge shells do exist today. they're not very widely used however.

a friend of mine is and ex-marine, and we have discussions all the time on how weapons in Halo relate to real life weapons. there are even guns like the battle rifle on the fields right now. Israli weapons, i think.

I'm pretty sure whoever designed the shotgun made it possible for infantry to use. There are several ways of decreasing the recoil and I'm sure they've been improved after 500 years of development.

8-gauges are real, but their not widely used. they are made for duck hunting, and are normally put on a tripod. you may not go deaf, but you'd definitly fall on you a@@! a better question is: what if you got hit by an 8-gauge shotgun shell?

If it was a magnum,like in halo,you would be screwed

Why would you want to shoot powerful shotguns? It would hurt and be loud and shotgun's have no real use!! You can't fight peple with them, unless you want to be uneffcient, and they are heavy. They do take off a lot a damage though...

Don't be daft man! Half the rifles in the world have 3-round burst capability! The M16a2 used by the majority of US troops alternates between 3-shot burst and Single shot. Oh and the new israeli TAR-21 looks nothing at all like the BR in halo. I think it looks more like a FAMAS, or maybe a jacked-up M4 with huge carrying handle...

Dude, I agree with you. If anything, the BR looks like a smoothed-up FAMAS.

But, that technique that Cavmn posted is pretty fascinating. That's something I'd really like to learn how to do!

But, unless that technique is used, an 8-gague magnum shell (half the shell has gotta be brass!) would knock you flat on your butt. That thing is just a step under a friggin' cannon.

Of course you could fire the 8 gauge shotgun. Many years of loving craftmanship went into the design and construction of that brutal tool of mayhem, I hope you can appreciate that. I won't waste my time trying to explain the recoil-absorbing mechanism to you - your primitive mind could never grasp its complex nature. Even with all those fancy Jjaro implants.

It's easy to keep your arm, if you hold the shotgun CORRECTLY.
