I'm sure you could stop an engine running at speed by knocking off some piece of external equipment, but I don't think a 12 guage shot gun slug will penetrate a block to the extent that it will penetrate enough to do internal damage. Maybe they do get that close - I don't know. I'm think more about a standoff shot from over 50 yards. Then again, every video I've seen of them blowing up outboards has been with a .50 cal. Somewhere out on YouTube there is a training video where they demonstrate shotgun technique with the shooter laying prone in the front of a RIB, while they chase a target boat with fake outboards on the back. Can't find it at the moment. A shotgun is certainly a lot safer than a machine gun in congested waters. |
