@GermanTopGameTV That's not how any of this works, at all. Toe popper mines are designed to blast a foot but don't have enough payload to game-end someone. Even bounding mines (bouncing betty) are designed to go off at knee/waist height for better coverage.

 @steezydan8543 Still, don't say "AI". We had algorithms and even visual recognition before AI.

Yo dawg, I heard you like tubes. So we put a tube on your tube.

 @CharveL88 Droppers will fly closer than spotters. Spotters just have to see. Droppers have to be close enough to make a hit and not get wind deflect the shuttlecock, etc.

@Excludos FPV drones are fast against unaware targets. When foot moblies are aware and attempt to dodge the FPV and put obstacles between temselves and the drone, they start circling around to get a good angle on target.

 @jerkerbergstrom6663 Geneva conventions don't mention shotguns, and neither do the Hague conventions.

@paulthiessen6444 in urban combat they're dropping entire buildings with glide bombs. Why would you breach a door with a shotgun? The guy with the PK on the other side will just aim and the wall and fire through the concrete.

There's millions of shotshells laying around. Custom machining a launcher adapter that gets reused is easier than machining thousands of grenade bodies to fire a buckshot load.

@are3287 Shotgun range with buckshot is about 80 yards (can hit a deer sized target even with the cheap military unplated buck). With the birdshot and firing against gravity, nabbing a drone 80 yards up is not as straightforward. Three dimensional maneuvering decreases your effective range.

Observation drones can use slant range and just look at you from a mile away. Even when you're just 300 pixels on a screen, you're still distinctly human and move human-like.

@rklkify Now Private Konscriptovich drops his shotgun and a small spring breaks. Model is a Vanka 42069, which hasn't been made since the Brezhnev administration. Where do you send it for repairs? You start issuing shotguns, you either send what you have now (an absolute party mix) or you start a formal aquisition with trials, etc. so good luck getting those to the front within a year.

Even a primitive pump action is a complex system. The shell lift, the system that locks the bolt and prevents you from pumping until the firing pin drops (or you hit the slide release), etc require little parts with decent precision.

It's a >1000km frontline with half a million men in each side. Mark Serbu can't keep up.

The Russian underbarrels work differently. It gets muzzle loaded, and when you fire the propellant gets ignited which pushes the driving bands out due to pressure. So the grenade can slide in with hand pressure, but on firing the side of the grenade expands and gets engraved by the rifling. The entire grenade body flies out. The M203/M320 style 40mm grenade used in the West is breech loaded and has a casing that stores powder and gets left behind after firing.
