MH6~SPARTA~ Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OYsQDq9_wvk That is, in no way, a freakin' "pistol". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durka-Durka~SPARTA~ Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 hmm, interesting. Would that be considered a "sawed off" type of shotgun? Aren't the barrels on those things supposed to be a defined length? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haloelite Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 it looks more like an assault shotgun for room to room not a sawed off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedicSN6 Posted September 13, 2010 Author Share Posted September 13, 2010 The term Pistol is used when there is no shoulder stock so the user has to rely on dominant hand strength to control recoil and optionally, off-hand strength to assist in aiming.

No. If it's long enough to need to grasp the barrel it ain't no stinkin' pistol, sans shoulder stock or not. Just like an Uzi is considered a sub-machine gun. Pistol = handgun = able to be fired one-handed (effectively). How is that shotgun any different from this shotgun: On this matter I shall not relent.

OrcFace_McStompYou Posted September 13, 2010 Share Posted September 13, 2010 It is modified Saiga anyway, right? No, it's a modified AA12, which they cut the stock off of. The AA12 was developed for the military and was originally designed to be fully-automatic. Then the military realized they only use shotguns for breaching and base patrols, and that the damn thing weighs 12 lbs, and scrapped the project. hmm, interesting. Would that be considered a "sawed off" type of shotgun? Aren't the barrels on those things supposed to be a defined length? According to federal law, shotguns with a barrel length less than 18" are "short-barreled shotguns" and require a permit and a $200 tax-stamp. Many states, California included unfortunately, outlaw SBS's. The same laws apply to rifles with a barrel length less than 16". That's why many civilian legal ARs are sold with a 16.25" barrel.

OrcFace_McStompYou Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I shoulda payed more attention. You're right, it is a Saiga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstRock_EBDA Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 The weapon looks cool but not very effective at ranges over 20 yards unless they use a slug. The barrel looks like it's 7 inches. Your loosing a lot of fps with the short barrel. I suspect if use 3" to 3.5" magnums you'll gain power but loose the chance for a second shot(barrel climb). A Bullpup style would be better for CQB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee~SPARTA~ Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Pistol, not a pistol, range blah blah blah.... I'm pretty sure if I dropkicked a door down and started firing into a room with a suspect that there would be nothing left but Strawberry jam.
