Anyone else start reading this in a heavy, Russian accent a sentence or so in? I know I did and it made it that much more awesome.

As the weapon is originally manufactured without a shoulder stock, it is considered a smooth-bore handgun, and thus an AOW, rather than a short-barrelled shotgun


woah.. so i only need a $5 tax stamp for AOW's instead of a $200 tax stamp?

I'm not sure about those rules and I don't think I'd trust Wiki, but the nearest FFL holder should be able to tell you.

Anyway, here's hickok45 demonstrating them.

Also don't trust just any FFL, you'd surprised at the amount of incompetence out there. Find a Class 3 FFL, they know what they are talking about when it comes to Class 3 items. (SBR's, SBS's, AOW's, etc.)

only 3 rounds? so what exactly is the point of these? what role are they manufactured for? or are they just a fun toy?

Not sure I can really think where carrying this with it's bulk and low capacity over a handgun with less bulk and more capacity would be better?

It's for special door breaching shotshells. As noted, it's a specific, narrow application, not something many folks have.

Think SWAT units that need to breach a door to gain entry to a building. Rather than carry two guns, it's a mix.
