Nota dr, but a side by side shotgun: A friend of my grandfather had been one of the minor German "Fighter Aces" of WW1 with 6 confirmed victories. "Uncle" HM was once shot down by a British observer with a shotgun. When he passed the enemy plane with his Albatross at short range, the second man raised from his seat and swung a double barrel shotgun at him. Being a hunter himself, he immediately knew he was done. He managed to escape and land his plane. But he had some indigestible buckshot in his stomach instead of a healthy breakfast. He survived the wounds and lived to an old age.
