The combat shotgun is one of the most devastating yet most misunderstood close combat weapons. A great intimidator, the combat shotgun is widely used my military and police units for crowd control. The shotgun is also quite versatile, capable of acting as a short range countersniper weapon with rifled slugs, a delivery system for a "funnel of death" with buckshot, a door remover in counterterrorist operations, a launcher for tear gas or other chemical munitions, or a method of accurately firing less-lethal munitions. This book traces the history of the combat shotgun, specialized tactics for its usage, the myriad ammunition choices, and the wealth of combat shotguns available to the military or police operator.

Shotguns and Stagecoaches tells the true stories of the Wild West heroes who guarded the iconic Wells Fargo stagecoaches and trains, battling colorful thieves, vicious highwaymen, and robbers armed with explosives.
The phrase "riding shotgun" was no teenage game to the men who guarded stagecoaches and trains in the Western frontier. Armed with sawed-off double-barreled shotguns and an occasional revolver, these express messengers guarded valuable cargo through lawless terrain. They were tough, fighting men who risked their lives every time they climbed into the front boot of a Concord coach.
Boessenecker introduces soon-to-be iconic personalities like "Chips" Hodgkins, an express rider known for his white mule and his ability to outrace his competitors, and Henry Johnson, the first Wells Fargo detective. Their lives weren’t just one shootout after another – their encounters with desperadoes were won just as often with quick wits and memorized-by-heart knowledge of the land.
