"and possessing an assault firearm at age 13...
Hmmmm. Never known of an "assualt" shotgun. Missed that selection somewheres.. "
Some might call this an 'assault shotgun', but I just call it a 'wonderful idea, and where can I get one?'
Pancor Jackhammer Mark 3-A2 12g
A full-automatic bullpup-configuration shotgun, the Jackhammer uses 10-round ammo cylinders. The cylinder system allows the use of standard plastic 12 gauge shells without the problem of shotshells melting in the hot chamber and causing jams. The Jackhammer has a progressive trigger and a cocking/decocking lever which can be operated silently. A majority of this weapon and its ammo cassettes are made of Rynite plastic. The inline design and operating system of the Jackhammer give it good control on full automatic fire. I would rather doubt, however, that this kid had one of these or anything in it's league. It's probably more a matter of the hysterical antigun media referring to ANYTHING that's big, black and scary as an "assault weapon".
