How many shots does he get off before he has to reload? Because reloading looks like a bitch.

Anywhere from 6 to 40 shots per gun, if they used standard magazines.

Doesn't matter because mid-air range on a pistol is basically ballistics hell

Looks like a whole lot of trouble for flinging a piece of lead in a 'forward but otherwise random' direction.

Honestly, now I'm just wondering how viable an anti-air shotgun would have been in WW1 dogfights.

Depends on distance, mostly. And size/ number of shot, 'buckshot' if it connected could be a real hassle. War is the pinnacle of Stupid Human Tricks. smh.

They fought very close back then.
