In this thread, several posters comment to the effect that the Mossberg "chainsaw" is a dangerous configuration or could be dangerous in use.
Looking at it, I can see the the forward-swept handgrip could be awkward (it looks awkward to me), and that a back-swept grip might be better, ergonomically speaking.
But since I am not a "shotgun guy" or any kind of CQB tactical expert (my weapon-of-choice for CQB/urban renewal is an M1 Abrams ), can someone who is more savvy in these areas explain to me why this configuration is or could be dangerous?
The only thing I can think that might be consided dangerous is that the configuration appears optimized (if such a term can actually be applied to this) for "hip-shooting," and not aimed fire. But I'll defer to more knowledgeable minds on this.
Thanks in advance.
