While shotguns had been used in earlier conflicts, the trench warfare of World War I demonstrated a need for standardized weapons and ammunition. [2] Initial issue with each shotgun was one hundred commercial-production paper-cased shotgun shells containing nine 00 buckshot pellets 0.33 inches (8.4 mm) in
The US military M1030 breaching round is a 12-gauge, 2 + 3 ⁄ 4-inch (70 mm) shell that uses a 40-gram (1.4 oz) projectile made of powdered steel, bound with wax.

The R.I.P. cartridge (round irritant personnel) 12-gauge ammunition comprises cartridges filled with a mixture of micronized CS gas, an inert powder to add weight, and a further non-toxic powder which, on compression and friction, produces a large amount of carbon dioxide gas on exiting the barrel of the shotgun.

The design proved more expensive to make than the Model 11-48, and was also less reliable and heavier.
