I wondered how long it would take to evolve the concept into something workable - I'm betting that the original idea was sparked by something like the LAG in Traveller :D.

Didn't there used to be fully-auto shotguns in the US inventory during Vietnam? I seem to recall they were favoured with flechette rounds for dealing with engagements amidst the vegetation (the Green Fog of War as we used to call it when we played 'army' back in our youth :eek:).

Saw that when it first came out but hadn't seen the Future Weapons clip, thanks. There's something about the idea of a full-auto 12-gauge that just makes me grin from ear to ear :D

here's another version, the Saiga 12 (basically an AK-47 shotgun)

Since I'm too lazy to hunt, were I to have one of these, those damn clay pigeons wouldn't stand a chance..

At an OP in view of your house...
Not bad if your not worried about shooting noncombatants. ;) I think every home should be outfitted with one, just to curtail the eminent zombie threat. That thing could wipe out an entire town of zombies! :lol:

That is pretty cool though... :)

I hope they bring a lot of cash to repay you for the ammo, cos it's going to break the bank just to practice with one of those babies. Low recoil, automatic, drum fed. I hope these never see the street in my lifetime. :cool:

OMG, you're actually crystallizing the image in my head :jaw-dropping: Do you have any idea how many gangs there are just in a five mile radius from my house? :shotgun:

any of you folks ever researched the atchison machine shotgun from the mid to late 1960's? it was a full auto shotgun in 12 gage and worked well....
then there is the H&K CAW also from what I understand works well and is again a 12 gage assault shot gun .. full auto and selectable like the atchison was... its a tool.. perhaps a good one.. but both were very expensive...
