It has nohing at all to do with whether or not I'v been shot at. It has everything, however, to do with the fact that shotgun shells are fat, short, and unwieldy in the hands compared to a magazine, that holding even light objects at ams length is quicly tiring to even fit individuals, that you don't have 2 extra arms to cycle the actions of two lever-action shotguns, and that there's simply not enough recoil force generated by a shotgun shell going off to shatter a human wrist unless the human in question has brittle-bone disease or something.
