"They may be technical experts with long service as enlisted personnel, or direct entrants, notably for U.S. Army helicopter pilots."

Riot Shotgun:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riot_shotgun
"A riot shotgun is a shotgun designed or modified for use as a primarily defensive weapon, by the use of a short barrel and a larger magazine capacity than shotguns marketed for hunting.[1][2] The riot shotgun is used by military personnel for guard duty and was at one time used for riot control, and is commonly used as a door breaching and patrol weapon by law enforcement personnel, as well as a home defense weapon by private citizens.[3][4] Guns of this type are often labeled as breaching shotguns, tactical shotguns or special-purpose shotguns to denote the larger scope of their use, however these are largely marketing terms."
