The Remington Model 870 is a pump action shotgun featured in Medal of Honor (2010) and Medal of Honor: Warfighter. The M870 shotgun, better known as Remington Model 870 shotgun, has been introduced in the U.S military force since the Vietnam War when the army decided to replace the more expensive Winchester Model 12 shotgun with the cheaper yet equally effective M870 shotgun. The Remington 870 shotgun is known as the most popular close quarter combat weapon in the world among police, private security, military and home defense.
