| It's noted that colonel Burnaby used a shotgun during the mahdist war, are there any Instances of any one using a shotgun during the zulu war? |

| Hiya Gary, ' Fred ' was severely condemned for using the shotgun, as though it was unsportmans like and ungentlemanly, as a direct result he did not use it at Abu Klea, and was outside the broken square when he died.. xhosa |

| I do remember reading that several officers called it "bad form" using a shotgun at EL Teb, it wouldn't surprise me though if there was some eccentric who did us one during the zulu war. |
