Not having any service experience, I'm not sure how this shotgun /
assault rifle combination differs from a grenade launcher / rifle combo
in the respect that they both require two ammo types. If the rifle and
shotgun together can cause problems in terms of finding the right ammo,
then surely so should an AR/GL ? To my knowledge, no-one has yet raised
that as a problem ?
