Hi,
These are the top 2 most successful semi-auto designs ever. One's gas operated, other long recoil.
Is there any advantage of one over the other? 1100 uses O-rings that wear out, but are easily replaced. A5 has no O-rings, but friction rings that are more robust.
What about the rate of fire for sporting clays or skeet? Or pointability? Recoil dampening of the gas system, etc.?
A5's can go on without cleaning, but 1100s can't?
Edit I stand corrected: ''The model 1100 holds the record for the most shells fired out of an autoloading shotgun without malfunction, cleaning or parts breakage with a record of over 24,000 rounds. The record was set in 1978 with a Remington model 1100 LT-20. Breaking this record has been attempted with several other models of Semi auto shotguns but has yet to be broken''
