Perhaps the military veterans might have input, but then I don't even know if the CF uses shotguns in combat like the Americans do. The best info anyone could provide is on how their shotgun/ammo worked on similar to human sized game.
We use Remington 870's in A-stan for breaching doors and shooting wild dogs that got too close. We even let our interpreter carry one with a dozen or so rounds of 00 buck, we never let him shoot it except on the range but he loved carrying that thing around!
