 Before the flaming starts   :, remember I'm an idiot and don't quite understand ,  someone tell me again why I need a shot gun with 15 shots.   I mean with just an ounce and a 1/16 of shot in each shell it weighs a pound more  .

So ya dont have to reload so often

I usually don't have enough targets where reloading is a problem.

When Hunting water fowl and deer you can only have 3 shots in the shotgun at one time here in Ohio  Thats the law

[KySongDog]

It is not a hunting shotgun, Bill.    

I thought it was unusual so I posted about it.   I like guns.  All types. All sizes.

Anyone remember the Street Sweeper?  It was a hoot to shoot but then the BATF decided we didn't need it anymore and banned it.  (made it class 3)

Reminds me of the mindset of Jim Zumbo when he decided that AR's were useless as hunting guns and no one needed one.     

[Bills Custom Calls]

Why didn't you say it is a riot gun 


Nothing wrong with liking guns I think I only have 20 myself
And there ain't nothing wrong with the AR out in the woods

Why didn't you say it is a riot gun 

I guess those links weren't self explanatory.   I am sorry if my post led you to believe the gun was made for duck hunting and deer hunting in Ohio. 

It is a special purpose/tactical shotgun.  In the same class of guns as the special purpose Remington 870 or Mossberg 500/590 that have a 18 1/2 inch barrel and hold 7 or 8 shots.

I dont know 100% but with the 18.5" cylinder bore barrel you may have to get them pretty close...

someone tell me again why I need a shot gun with 15 shots.

Home defense comes to mind. I know the magazine capacity of firearms creates debates for those not in the know.

People don't fall down or fall back like you see in movies and TV. People will get shot, and still try to kill you! Multiple shots will increase the chances to stop the threat. The likely hood of delivering a fatal or incapacitating shot with just one discharge is highly unlikely. Stress, target movement and such are variables that change from moment to moment.
Even Navy Seals are trained to use multiple shots.

The fact remains in gun fights there is only a 20%, hit ratio 4 out of 5 bullets shot in high stress situations  miss the target completely. granted the shotgun could increase this hit ratio.

That would be a nice one to add to the list of, "guns to keep under the couch" if martial law takes over.

  Then I may not be able to use the, "To keep the damb thing from floating", excuse that I always use on the wife .

Nice but it seems to have a bit of recoil... And I prefer mine to have atleast a 20 round drum..
  Nock Nock, who's there ? come on in

I hear ya Richard. I was thinking more along the lines of blanket coverage for when the whole flock comes at once. 

Yes that would make a great self defense rig. I wonder how many LEO's are looking at it for their ride along scattergun.
