Masterkey

A masterkey is a shotgun mounted under the barrel of an assault rifle with primary purpose of breaching doors. Before these were invented, soldiers who needed door breaching capability had to carry a seperate shotgun around or use an alternative method such as breaching charges, battering rams or kicking / using bodyweight to get through the door, all of which had severe disadvantages.
The original masterkey was the KAC Masterkey (as shown below) produced in the 80s which was a Remington 870 12-gauge with no stock and very small barrel (didnt matter as breaching took place and extremely close range) which had the ability to carry 3 rounds internally with 1 round in the breach so a total of four at a time.
This was then replaced by the M26 Modular Accessory Shotgun System which is still in service today. This is also a 12 gauge but has a 5 round detachable magazine and can fire buckshot, slugs and non-lethal ammunition.
