Some semi-auto shotguns were used also, by foreign countrys. Often it was a Browning A5. Also, I was visiting with a friend of my dad's, who served as an advisor in the eairly part of Nam, and his preferred weapon was a Browning A5 with buckshot. He said that at that time, some of the the guys were sending back home for their family members, friends, etc to purchase a shotgun and send it to them. He also told me that the shotgun was a better killer then the M16, but he carried both, as did most of the people in his group. They also relied heavely on dogs.
