The Model 1897 shotgun saw significant use during the Philippine–American War, with 200 weapons sent to counter Moro tribesmen. It gained popularity before World War I, with increased sales due to military demand. Modified for trench warfare, it featured a heat shield and bayonet lug. Its 20-inch barrel and buckshot ammunition made it effective in close combat. The Model 1897's rapid firing, known as "slam firing," earned it the nickname "trench sweeper" and caused fear among Germans. Even the Germans adopted a modified version called the "trench Mauser."
