Recently I participate in the Renton Fish and Game Black Rifle competition. (Super fun if you haven't done it before, try it out after checking their website)
I don't personally own a plate carrier or a tactical vest, or war belt, but I have seen many vests and "battle rigs" with spots for shotgun shells. At the competition there was even a guy there who while performing in the event with his AR and pistol, had about 5 shotgun shells in a container on his belt.
I also see "tactical" magazines, show "operators" with a couple of shotgun shells in their Molle webbing but are not carrying shotguns in their load out.
So what purpose do these shotgun shells serve?
I understand 3 gun competitors obviously use them, but it does not appear to me that these set ups are aimed at 3 gun competitors.
