Now THAT'S a shotgun

there's no difference between the AA-12 and any other Semi-auto shotgun, other than the fact that if can be fired accurately by a child...

it still fires normal 12-gauge shells.
 
looks just like the auto shotguns that have been out since the 90's that no one uses because they aren't that useful.

not really that portable though, kinda looks like a Heavy Machine gun. However also kinda cool

heavy machineguns are about 6 feet long and weigh between 20 and 200 kilograms.

the AA-12 is only a bit more clunky than say, a G36, and quite a lot lighter.

untill now. that was because the user still felt the full recoil of every round, but the AA-12's recoil management system is extremely effective, allowing (like i said) the weapon to easily be fired by a small child.

funny that, the original prototype actually used Thompson parts, and was designed to look very similar :)

yes but, most armies never stock large numbers of shotguns as they are only used for breaching etc, where only 1-2 shots are needed, or the occasional special round or non-lethal round, which this probably wouldn't be able to fire due to them having far less power and so not being able to operate a semi auto mechanism, the two reasons the semi auto spas 12 retains a pump system.

oh aye, there's a good point.

then again, the annoying twit in the video makes a good point, current OPFOR find shotguns and other beastly weapons very scary, and this thing is perfect for F.I.S.H, which US forces are engaged in a lot at the moment (and which full sized battle-rifles, assault rifles and carbines are woefully inadequate at)

new version of the spas is out now too, uses a magazine, and still retains semi auto or pump and a special round can be loaded directly into the chamber in place of the next one in the magazine.

Then you wouldn't mind being sent into war with a 22 pistol then?
The more powerful guns you've got the better I say!

? so you'd rather a gun that you have to get within in 100 ft of the other guy to even stand a chance with, than a powerful rifle + air burst grenade combo.
