That would be sweet. 60 rounds/min of 12 bore action.

if you are a goverment yes, full auto weapons are prohibited in us under assult weapons ban(which bans sales of most automatic weapons)

If you're saying that full-auto shotguns are completely illegal, that may be true. I don't know. But if you're saying you can't own full-auto weapons at all, stop spreading total BS.


I never said full auto weapons are illegal to own, just that military weapons were illegal to buy.

My info is dated though since the assualt weapon ban was lifted after september 13 2004 and semiauto assualt weapons based no military full aito versions were allowed to be sold.

thefull list includes semiauto
* Norinco, Mitchell, and Poly Technologies Avtomat Kalashnikovs (all models);
* Action Arms Israeli Military Industries UZI and Galil;
* Beretta Ar70 (SC-70);
* Colt AR-15;
* Fabrique National FN/FAL, FN/LAR, and FNC;
* SWD M-10; M-11; M-11/9, and M-12;
* Steyr AUG;
* INTRATEC TEC-9, TEC-DC9, AND TEC-22;
* revolving cylinder shotguns such as (or similar to) the Street Sweeper and Striker 12.
* All copycat weapons based on these designs

still automatic weapons are not illegal to own and can be had through legal "transfers of posession" I think. I went through a time when I though about collecting a MP5, and possibly a AKM just for display purposes back in 2002 or 2003 and I researched this for a while. They must be registered and there is paperworks involved with the transfers but technially yes you can have full auto AKs and PPshs.

the only problem is that the auto shottys are for military use and and not sold, even to law enforcement in the civilian sector.

Yep... it would be a volley gun.

A few hand-held volley guns were also developed during the 18th and 19th centuries. One of the most distinctive was the "duck's-foot" volley gun, a pistol with four parallel .45 calibre barrels arranged in a splayed pattern, so that the firer could spray a sizeable area with a single shot. The British Royal Navy used Nock's volley gun around the time of the Napoleonic Wars. This was a seven-barreled rifle capable of firing seven .50 calibre rifle balls at the same time, intended for use in repelling boarders. However, its immense recoil made it an extremely physically demanding weapon to use. The Nock gun was recently bought to public attention by its inclusion in Bernard Cornwell's Sharpe novels where it was wielded by Sharpe's friend and collegue Sergent Pat Harper.
