The Day Japan Faced the Winchester M12

During my university days at Cal State Long Beach, I took a World War II history class. 

The class mainly had us view the television documentary show, World At War. At no time during the class was the use of shotguns in the Pacific theater of World War II mentioned, either in lectures, in the videos or in books. 

Above, your truly taking possession of the Winchester Model 12 shotgun. 

Recently, a spate of videos have been uploaded in YouTube on the topic of shotguns in the war. I have posted one several days ago. I have another posted below.

It is specifically about the use of the Winchester Model 12 shotgun during the war. I bought a Model 12 a year ago and it is fun to shoot.

A Ranger friend of mine says while on patrol, his point man carried a 12-guage (don't know what brand) while in the jungles of Southeast Asia.
