A Parkerized Mossy
with a
Bayonet Lug
Is Badass!
I read the article mostly then skimmed the rest.
Surprised of all the shortcomings of the pump shotgun. It strikes me that they are mostly imaginary.
I do personally prefer the semi auto tho.
AA-12
Fully automatic.
30 rounds
Can fire 30 mini-grenades.
Virtually no recoil.

I believe that is what they were using in the first Expendables movie.
I have a remington 500 that jams sometimes. I found out the problem and all it takes to un-jam is drop it on the end of the butt on the ground. But it is a design/manufacturing flaw.
Remington 500? Or a Mossberg 870?
Nothing like the sound of a pump racking a round in it to give one pause...sometimes a shotgun is the right tool for the job and other times it takes a different weapon...weight and other restrictions make us choose what to carry with us...
Saiga with some drum mags makes a nice home defense weapon.

That was it! I recall a video where an average sized female was firing the 12 gauge full auto with no problem. Very impressive!
Me want!.....................
The US has used shotguns in combat since its earliest days. I personally know that in ‘Nam the point man with the 12 gauge and buckshot was feared and effective. The is no better short range killer.
I looked at both and chose the Remington 500. I get the feeling I chose poorly. But it works pretty well for the most part.
AA12 is much better but mil only. AA12 has virtually no recoil. This thing has a little kick and the barrel drifts up, but since we cant have a full auto AA12 the semi auto version of the Saiga will do.
Auto to auto the AA12 is vastly superior. Round after round right on target with little to no barrel drift.
Or to identify your location and have the bad guy immediately fire on you.
I prefer my Mossberg 500 tactical. Mine never jams. Remington never could get the 500 right. I guess that's why they delevoped the 870. </sarc>
I might have several pump shotguns. Some might be Model 12 Winchesters that perform flawlessly. One is Winchester 1200 which is a PITA. If you are very careful when loading, you can end up with one hell of a mess. The last one up the magazine doesn’t catch if your not careful and you end up with the action closed with one in the chamber, one under the carrier and one in the magazine. That is a mess and a pain to remedy. Probably needs a good cleaning.
As long as TL 2A or higher wearable armor exists...
Oh, and btw, one does indeed need to aim a shotgun.
Oth, your generic thug may not have thought it through and is wearing a toy mask and a t-shirt, I think I won’t take my chances....
That works out well in a Benelli. 7+1+1 capacity.
