But prior to deployment you would have greater maneuverability, right?
Not much. Certainly not enough in my mind to warrant losing the stock and all of it's advantages.

Actually, I was speaking from experience, if you didn't gather that. The recoil is absorbed by the air; all my body is doing is keeping the weapon from flying away. This is the only way I can accurately use heavy loads like slugs and premium 3" turkey ammo.
Indeed. I too would love to see a video of heavy loads being fired through a PGO with no felt recoil.I'll believe that theory when I see a video of you visibly loading and firing some Brenneke magnum slugs from your PGO with no felt recoil.
The best use for a PGO shotgun is to fight your way to a screwdriver so you can put the stock back on it.
it might be a bit easier to stuff them in a backpack or go-bag than a shotgun with a full stock.

ok..some pictures of shotguns.The use of the 870 MCS by our Nation's military thumbs its nose at this statement.Some interesting "food for thought" starting at post #16 here...
Get a used 20 gauge H&R. Bob the barrel to 18-25". Either hollow out or skeletonize the stock and add a good pad and sling studs. You'll have a fine little occasional gun that kicks pretty hard due to its less than 6 lb weight but you won't be shooting lots of shells per day.
One shot may not sound like much, but few extended firefights occur in the wild.
Has anyone involved in this discussion had training in the CAR High Position and fired a PGO shotgun from that position? I have not. I've had training and fired a traditional stock shotgun from that position and I would guess that while it would be nice not to have to tuck the stock under your arm while firing, reloads would be more difficult.
