I liked the US military full auto shotgun with a 50 round drum magazine.

Whew! I need a cigarette after seeing that.

Just a reminder to all my FReeper FRiends, Christmas is coming and I could really use one (or more) of these!

Kel-Tec KSG Pump also looks interesting @ $880 MSRP (14+1 12ga/2.75”)

When I load up mine 12ga with 5 + 6 pack on the receiver with 3” 00 buck it weighs a ton. Imagine what 16 would weigh.

FULLY AUTOMATIC GLOCK WITH A DRUM!

The Saiga 12 with a drum is cool. The drums are available on many websites, including CheaperThanDirt.com

What’s with the phony accent?

Because anything worth doing is worth over-doing.

I heart shotguns ;-)

A mallard wouldn’t stand a chance. :)

Sure thing! How many magazines could you use?

[null and void]

In my neighborhood 4 or 5 should suffice...

[Nervous Tick]

5 magazines. Roger.

You realize you’ll have to buy your own pin-punch reloading tool?

Some sacrifices must be made...

I really like the concept (bull-pup pump), ammo capacity and flexibility, but wish it was also available in 20 gauge. I think the 12 may be a bit much if any of the fairer sex need to use it for home defense.

I suspect that the Korean shopkeepers would have LOVED such a weapon during the LA riots. I assume the "18 inch barrel" shotgun rule does not apply???

Saturday fun thread.

WW-
Per your question on barrel length, from the review linked:

“By using a bullpup design, the Kel-Tec has an eighteen and one-half inch barrel to keep the Feds happy...”

The bullpup design has been credited w/reducing “perceived recoil” by some authorities; although I am not aware of the physics that would support that statement.

I, too, like the idea of a high capacity pump shotgun for home defense ...less to go wrong when compared to an autoloader ...assuming there is no “operator error” such as “short stroking” the pump action. The relatively short overall length is also advantageous for CQB and weapons retention.
