<hr>
THe M870 is a pump-action, 12-gauge shotgun in use throughout the US military. It is the military version of the Remington 870 shotgun and comes in a wide range of configurations of different barrel lengths, stocks and manufacturing materials.
M870 shotguns have been used by US Special Operations Forces (SOF) for decades. M870s have been by SEAL boarding teams. Division Recon Marines took them with them when they spearheaded the invasion of Iraq in 2003.
When SOF teams fight in urban environments, shotguns, such as the M870, are ideal when used for close quarters battle (CQB).
=HISTORY=

The Remington 870, introduced in 1950, succeeded earlier models like the Remington Model 31, known for its precision but high production costs. The 870, designed for modernity and affordability, quickly became a commercial hit. By 1973, two million units were sold, surpassing its predecessors. By 1983, it became the best-selling shotgun in history, with three million units sold. Sales soared to over seven million by 1996, driven partly by the introduction of lower-cost "Express" models. The ten millionth 870 rolled off the production line on April 13, 2009.
