US Marine Corps tests shotgun conversion kit

摘要

The US Marine Corps is testing a new Marine Corps Systems Command (MCSC) Military Enhancement Kit (MEK) that will enable personnel to convert an M500A2 shotgun into a more compact weapon for use during breaching or visit, board, search, and seizure (VBSS) operations. The MEK is designed so that it requires no modification to the M500A2, meaning the corps only has to buy the kit itself, Major Paul Gillikin, Special Purpose Weapons team lead in MCSC's Infantry Weapons Systems Section, told Jane's.
