That what the Saiga is, a tactical 12 ga shot gun, based on AK47 with a 5 and 10 rd magazine. I thought that it would kick less because it uses some of the gasses to cycle but it kicks like a mule, a lot more than a regular 12 ga pump action. I guess in a really hairy situation the adrenaline would kick in and you wouldn’t worry too much about the recoil but a clay gun it is not.
Never have shot or even held one, but they sure look cool.
