Santa,

Make that two.

Man, I'd almost feel sorry for the home invador that waltzes into someones house at 3 in the morning and has to stare that down.:p

Seems to me there's some recoil.

Looks pretty manageable, though.

Hey! Its Baldo the Wonder Seal's show (Future Weapons).
The AA-12's been around forever, no one in the military's taken it seriously.

I wouldn't mind one either...can it be made CA compliant :scrutiny:

Drop a 6-position stock on it and I am soooooo there!


(Oh, what the heck. They had me at "300 rounds per minute"...)

I wouldn't expect them to...It just seems to me that a rifle with a fun switch is just a far superior combat weapon.

But give me one and I'll take it serious.:):D:p

I don't know why they don't just say 50 rds in 10 seconds though...Could you imagine a 300 rd 12 gauge mag?:)

HOLY #$&@

I really want one. That thing is just.... just so..... I am at a literal loss of words for how cool it is.

"No cleaning or maintenance required"

Where have we heard that before:scrutiny:

don't get me started. If I asked santa for every gun I want, his sleigh would be so heavy it'd never get off the ground.

I wonder if it's really rifled, or if that's just ignorance in the writeup... I can't imagine ti's all that accurate.

damn... I wouldn't feel bad for the 'home invader' aforementioned but there wouldn't be any home invader or home behind him left after you ran out of ammo.

Looks cool. Would you still be interested if semi-auto only?

I think they call that a Saiga these days, and the Saiga is probably much more reliable. More customizable, too. And much, much less expensive, even if the AA-12 were sold in semi-auto.

If someone figures out how to make a 12 gauge "recoilless," :rolleyes: make sure to let me know, my mom with a titanium plate in her neck would be thrilled.

Screw the AA12 read the article under that. A 32 Megajoule rail gun!!

Shotguns? What the heck you all want a auto shotgun I wat a 32 mega-joule rail gun...if not that I will take the nerf at the top of the page.

I clicked the link and I thought you were all raving about the new Nerf gun for a second.

I want an AA-12, the 32 mega joule rail gun, and hell I guess I'll take the Nerf gun too.

Lesse, a Saiga-12 is running approximately $500 these days, plus maybe $300 for a drum (?) and $200 for a tax stamp...

. . . but do they have it . . .

IN 28 GA??

Well, huh, do they?

hand your paycheck over to the gun store
got to play with something similar once que heading off into town to find a gunshop for more shotgun shells
owner not impressed with excitable squaddies bursting through the door going we need ammo :rolleyes:
range warden even less with the resorting mess:evil:
not exactly sure what the point of carrying one would be though :D

Stainless steel + 32 round drums= too heavy

You would need a backpack to carry 100rds and a wheel barrel to carry 1k. Granted it looked cool and seems like it would be fun to shoot. I am skeptical these will see combat. I am also dubious of the claim that it is a 200yrd weapon, for slugs maybe but not buckshot.

Browning made a recoiless trap gun. I've got two. They are virtually recoil free.

Not only do I think the nerf gun is cooler but I might actually get my hands on one this christmas.

fun for a range session but sort of pointless military wise
yes it will make 200yds with slugs but so will a rifle and thats easy to carry
devastating for room clearing but standard infantry soldier needs a mulitool not a very specialized piece of kit

Man that's the perfect HD weapon!:evil: I'll take 2 and I don't care if they come in PINK!!:neener:

The terrorists in Iraq are afraid of shotguns. This weapon was developed just to capitalize on that. I could see this weapon used in the correctional facilities in the guard towers.

I'm pretty sure I've seen the AA-12 video floating around on the 'net since well before we invaded Iraq and Afghanistan.

You maybe right, this is the first I've seen of it.
