It's an RAF felching tool. Have to be trained to use one, most people just use a straw.

According to a lad I know who took part in the lead up for this, the shotgun is modded for firing flares and the underling device is a laser.

All in all a horrendously gay set of phots. With the fetish for badges, I'm guessing 2 Sqn.

Max effective range of shotgun pellets against yumans is about 25yds. If you need to get that close, why not use tge rotor downwash to knock down said microlight.

Shotguns = good for breaching rounds and looking ally, not for shooting people.

Never mind the rotor downwash, the ground below is likely to be littered with casualties caused by doors dropping off the choppers.
