you did not watch the vid

I've seen the show before, and it doesn't say anything about shotgun shells suddenly being as light and easy to carry as rifle rounds. A soldier can carry a couple hundred rounds of 5.56 already loaded into magazines. How many of those AA-12 drums do you expect people to carry? Are folks supposed to stop fighting and reload the entire drum every other minute? The exploding shells aren't relevant. They're not heavy enough to meet the 400 gram minimum for exploding ammunition in wartime. Since they don't let us buy high explosive rounds as civilians, and since soldiers can't use them in war, they don't serve to make the gun any more practical.
