Offered a low cost, unfired one by a guy at work. I don't need it, but it seems like a cool "just because I can" gun.
Are these things useful for much, or are they just coke can blasting gimmicks? Sort of reminds me of the old witness protection style shotguns that the Marshals used to use ETA bought it Attached File |

What is “low cost”?
They are fun guns. I don’t know how useful they are, but there they are fun! |

Some asshole got smoked by a guy using one on video. Seemed to work quite well.
|

E-File Form1. Put used stock on. Usefull.
Edit: Or pistol brace if that's your thing. |
|
It is,
ETA: Just get it as an AOW from a SOT. It is an entirely different animal with a pistol grip. |
|
Breaching doors-- I imagine they'd be decent for that. Roughly a little bigger than an 870 MCS but adequate.
|

I use mine to open paint cans,pickle jars,beer bottles,all sorts of stuff really. It a very handy home appliance that I highly recommend.
|
|
Could come in handy.
What’s your neighbor, dumpster, mattress situation? ETA: Fawk, beat. |

I got Shockwave and Jetfire the same Christmas. 85 I think.

It’s fun as fuck to shoot. Mine is in a clarinet bag in my Jeep. Super compact hoarde control.

I've been hunting with mine. Haven't seen a bear but it kills squirrels and grouse just fine.
I've shot a few 3 guns with it as well. Wallum lake 3gun Wallum lake 3gun Attached File Attached File Attached File Maybe I'll post a topless one for spring turkey season |

Since when does a gun have to be useful for us to lust after it?
|
|
Seriously, I think that any idiot can use one to waste a bad guy within 10 yards and without much practice and generic buckshot.
If you want to do better at longer ranges then you need to train with it and get flight control ammo. I keep mine handy for uninvited guests. |

It's like a S&W 500, everytime I find one cheap I talk myself out of it.
It'd look great leaning up against a tire on the Jeep out in the garage. Keeps muh dumpster unencroached. |

Clint Smith went from thinking they were stupid to posting a video of how they were useful and okay.

Niche usefulness. Whenever you NEED a ridiculously short shotgun. Otherwise, mostly stupid.

With a brace or stock they are useful. They are fun either way

Quoted:
I found that you need to aim at the belt buckle. I think the way the recoil happens the muzzle rotates up and the shots go high. Also the recoil is insane so after about 15 shells it's no fun to shoot. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes |

I told myself that I needed it for a truck gun. I was right!

Completely fucking stupid. Plus...it's a fucking pump-action.
Which makes it doubly-fucking stupid. |

With the new Crimson Trace "LaserSaddle," I think their practical utility is going way up.
