Either he isn't confident in his aiming or afraid of tagging the hostages with his stray shots.So uhh...why didn't he just shoot the bad guy who was sticking his head out over the balcony like 6 feet above him???
I'm necroing, but it feels like this author gets their firearms knowledge from video game balancing. Shotguns are usually nerfed in games to be short range only with unrealistic spread at the trade off of shredding armor at close quarters. People who have only experienced shotguns through games are blissfully unaware that they are, in fact ranged weapons. Not snipers for sure, but they regularly take birds and skeet out of the sky, and can be used to thin out boar and deer populations in the Japanese countryside.I think it is the same "issue" we had with the Glock. It does actually have "automatic" in the name (A in SPAS), but by that they mean "auto loading" vs a manual action like a pump gun. The biggest issue is with that cone like spread at essentially less than 5 yards. Even birdshot doesn't spread that fast. Also, I don't understand what he means by "it can unload an unlimited number of 12 GA shells". It definitely has a limited tube magazine, and loading it is slow. Maybe he means you can top it off as you shoot in combat, essentially giving you an "unlimited" tube of shells? Topping off when you aren't firing is an import skill with tube fed weapons (shotguns, lever actions, etc.).
It's a problem that exists in multiple series where the author wants to write about something they really know nothing about and can't be bothered to do any real in-depth research for; Kajiya de Hajimeru Isekai Slow Life is an example of this, but with blacksmithing instead of firearms.I'm necroing, but it feels like this author gets their firearms knowledge from video game balancing.

It's not entirely weird that author-san doesn't know about actual guns though. I think maybe only 1% of the population here actively hunts. Gun ownership, despite the stories to the contrary is legal here, albeit tightly controlled. A little about the procedure here: https://www.fukuoka-now.com/en/fukuoka-gun-hunting-guide/
Actually I wish the USA was like this. Firearms should be respected, feared and educated about. Too bad the lobbyists are more concerned with sales than ethics or safety.
