A 12 gauge barrel under 8 inches” Must have great muzzle velocity.
Looks like a gimmick to me. Maybe it’s useful to breach a door occasionally?
Yep, great for a twelve foot room, beyond that they may get pissed.
Generally referred to as a hallway (or alley) sweeper..not an entirely bad thing.
What amazes me, or maybe not, is that back in the 60's the M16 was boosted by being light weight and using a light round..."you can carry more ammo".
So, 45 or so years later they've strapped several pounds onto the puppy, messed up the shoulder to aim point geometry, and added a second issue of ammunition (with various loads) in the name of progress (?)
On the other hand, at 3.5 pounds and given a skeleton stock, it'd be a comfort strapped to your leg if you had to venture into a nasty neighborhood.
