These weapons both use round projectiles and are not designed to give the longer range that a spinning bullet gives, but rather to have a shorter range wide area of coverage. With non-precise aiming, a weapon with both long range and wide dispersion may cause problems due to unintended hits on anything in the dispersion pattern. So in the case of claymores and shotguns, the shorter range is actually an advantage. | |
