霰弹枪,作为轻武器的一种,许多年来一直是各国警用的主要防暴武器。而对于在军事领域使用霰弹枪的提议,则有各种反应:一些人认为霰弹枪是最好的近战突击武器,而另一些人认为霰弹枪不屑一顾。最近几年,国外开始重新评价霰弹枪在军事领域中的地位和作用,着手研制、开发适合军用的“战斗型霰弹枪”并积极采用先进技术和先进材料。一些轻武器权威人士预测,霰弹枪的“东山再起”将可能成为轻武器发展的一个趋势。 Shotguns, as a type of light weapons, have for many years been the main anti-riot weapon used by all nations. However, there are various reactions to the proposal to use a shotgun in the military field: Some consider a shotgun to be the best melee strike weapon, while others regard the shotgun as dismissive. In recent years, foreign countries began to reevaluate the status and role of the shotgun in the military field and started to develop and develop “battle-type shotguns” suitable for the military and actively adopt advanced technologies and advanced materials. Some light weapons authorities predict that a “comeback” of a shotgun will likely become a trend in the development of SALW.
