霰弹枪,这一历史悠久的滑膛枪械,在军用领域重新兴起,已不是什么新鲜事了。许多国家的军队,尤其是特种部队以及反恐部队都已经装备或正在列装军用霰弹枪。特别是美国,继1999年初在“三军战斗霰弹枪”选型中选中的M1O14战斗霰弹枪相继亮相于阿富汗的反恐战场和 2003年的伊拉克战场之后,驻阿富汗战场的第10空降师又于2004年11月装备了可以安装在M4卡宾枪护木下方使用的轻型霰弹枪(经过一系列改进,现已正式命名为 XM26模块式霰弹枪)。 It is nothing new to shoot a shotgun, a historic smoky firearms that has rekindled itself in the military arena. Military forces in many countries, especially the special forces and the anti-terrorist forces, are already equipped or are in the process of deploying military shotguns. Especially the United States, the M1O14 combat shotguns selected in the “Three Forces' Combat Shotguns” selection campaign appeared in Afghanistan's anti-terrorist battlefield in 2003 and the 2003 Iraqi battlefield in succession, and the 10th Airborne Division in Afghanistan battlefield in 2004 November was equipped with a light-weight shotgun that could be used underneath the M4 carbine guard (after a series of improvements, now officially named the XM26 Modular Shotgun).
