Unlike the original gun, it will not fire continuously if pumped while the trigger is held back. Surely you had to see that coming.

Takes the allure away for me.

Have had one with a pistol grip for several decades. Always draws a crowd at the range. Always repels an Amish crowd inside 50-feet...

The Germans hated facing shotguns, and even filed a formal complaint that using shotguns was a violation of the rules of civilized warfare – to no avail. The trench gun was born.

I believe that the GIs nicknamed it the Trench Broom.
