I was wondering if that underslung M26 has any recoil buffer. From what I could read I don't think so and there doesn't seem to be any room between the chamber and the M16 mag well. I think you get the full recoil.
Well anyway - the M26 is kind of an innovation, but it sort of points out that probably a soldier with his battle rifle / assualt rifle is only occasionally going to need a shotgun, but a solider with a shotgun is going to frequently need a rifle.
