Those who think the 16 ga. is obsolete should remember that the firearms and ammo manufacturers are not offering new 16 ga. guns, and loading ammo, and the Walmarts are not stocking it on their shelves because they are trying to "re-introduce" the 16 ga. They don't have an agenda to see the 16 make a "comeback". The guns and ammo are offered for sale, and are stocked on the shelves, because they sell well enough that the stores and manufacturers see a profit there. If Walmart didn't sell but two boxes of 16 ga. in the next year it would disappear from the shelves. Enough demand for it is there, or it wouldn't be offered.

All of which means, the reports of it's demise have been greatly exaggerated.
