Shotguns can be used at a distance and still hit a target with multiple pellets, depending on the ammunition you're using.
Melee. Specifically, my bare hands.
The difference between a machine gun and a assault rifle is quite obvious. A machine gun is very high caliber and nearly always comes with a tri/bi-pod for further support. An assault rifle rarely does come with one and when it does it is usually a bi-pod used for precision and I would love to see a precision machine gun.
and Large caliber? I can have an AR-15 (Civilian M-16) chambered in .50 beowulf, instead of .223.
