Book Review: The World's Fighting Shotguns
This video is a book review of "The World's Fighting Shotguns" by Thomas Swearengen. The reviewer admits a prior lack of interest in shotguns but was inspired by a collection of mechanically unusual examples. The book, though published in 1978, covers a wide range of international fighting shotguns, including single shots, mag-fed automatics, police guns (like Greener police guns), Ithaca Auto & Burglars, High Standard bullpups, and the AA-12, alongside WWI and WWII trench shotguns and "Philippine guerrilla kludges." The reviewer mentions acquiring a .410 SMLE and a Spencer-Bannerman pump shotgun, both of which will be featured in future videos.
