I have never considered Mossberg to be a valid firearm brand.
So, when I heard that that Caltech Guy tried to kill donnie and the dildos with a Mossberg shotgun, I had issues.
Why a Mossberg might have surprised you
Mossberg pump‑action shotguns (especially the 500/590 family) have a very specific cultural and practical footprint:
1. They’re overwhelmingly associated with:
hunting
home defense
law enforcement
military breaching roles
They’re not typically associated with:
high‑profile political violence
long‑range attacks
precision targeting
So if someone hears “attempted assassination” and then hears “Mossberg,” the categories don’t match. A pump shotgun is a close‑range, low‑precision, high‑spread tool. It’s not a platform chosen for distance, accuracy, or stealth.
That mismatch alone can make the detail feel strange.

In the 60s I hunted birds with my German Shorthair Pointer, Blitz, and my friend Jack.
Jack had a Mossberg sourced Ted Williams pump 20 guage.
It was cosmetically beautiful.
It had one pump rail rather than two.
It jammed mostly.
