        Looks like a whole lot of trouble for flinging a piece of lead in a ‘forward but otherwise random’ direction.

          Honestly, now I’m just wondering how viable an anti-air shotgun would have been in WW1 dogfights.

            Depends on distance, mostly. And size/ number of shot, ‘buckshot’ if it connected could be a real hassle. War is the pinnacle of Stupid Human Tricks. smh.
