The Super Shorty has been around since 2005 when I was working there. We used to do 50-75 at a time of 870's or Mossberg 500's.
I have one I got around 2008 or so. Fun as hell. When me and the wife go to the range, she always makes sure it's packed to go. She loves firing it.

Wasn't a rifle issue but an issue with the ammo used.

That wasn't the rifles fault. It was handloaded SLAP rounds.
SLAP shouldn't be fired through a standard chambered barrel.

There's no market for it.
He might sell some based on his name, but if some random company made it though, it would be universally laughed at.

If you can find one. I don't know if he's actively producing them. It's my understanding that they're done in batches.

He stopped production on them a few years back to get caught up on other stuff.

And frankly impressive how much the gun did hold up

Unfortunately, the failure of the rifle did cause a part to go directly back, but I’m not sure a bolt wouldn’t have done the same thing

Yeah, cause it's definitely the gun's fault when you shoot 40 year old machine gun only ammo never available to civilians you bought off the internet which gave all the warning signs of "don't shoot this shit" ammo can possibly give and it exploded.

Pro tip, when you have to hammer out fired cases and one shot gives a fireball 2x as big as the previous one and the sound is completely different you probably shouldn't keep shooting...

It wasn't a standard chambered barrel either. It was custom made with a machine gun chamber just for those rounds.

They didn't design it for horrendously overpressure ammo though. Same result.

Went to buy a Serbu Super Shorty a few years ago and he stopped making them. I had a Mossberg converted by Safety Harbor instead.

This is just after cerakote. The lighting is terrible. It's stupid and awesome.

Technically you can get one now. Either by machining it, or 3d printing it yourself. The GB-22 isn't super secret. He's put out videos on it for years now, but it was a proof of concept to make the cheapest functional gun possible for gun buyback schemes. I don't quite understand the angle of brining it to market himself, as it likely would come in at an end user cost higher than the amount it could be resold for in a buy back.  It only really makes sense to me to sell to home builders that want an actual reference gun straight from the source.

He does sell the plans now. I'm sure they're probably redistributed elsewhere for free, but I think he deserves $12 for making it. https://serbu.com/gb-22-plans/

mark hasn't had them on his website in forever. i don't know why he stopped making them, but it's been years since he's had them. ( it felt like he was so busy fucking around with that 20mm rifle, he just gave up on the super shorty)

The SU15 is something different. It’s a bufferless AR design, like a KAC PDW.

Too much demand for his .50 cals shifted his priorities. I can't blame him, he has to follow the money, but it sucks if you want a super shorty.

True. And there were people trying to buy them. I called them directly and asked what was up with the Super Shorty and was told it was discontinued. They suggested Safety Harbor. Pretty much the same design and works great.

Didn't he have a somewhat interesting AR upper design years ago, maybe based on the AR180 design?



I assume he was unable to bring it to market on account of it having, ya know, moving parts.

I get chasing where the demand goes but I swear he could take in 100k in orders for the super shorty if he reproduced them.

All of his guns are fugly crap IMO.

Especially that abomination of a handgun. (Hold up. It's a single shot .22? Who the fuck wants that?)

Are his shop tools from the industrial revolution?

If you played a drinking game based on the number of times the YouTube "host" flagged Mark, you'd be drunk by minute 3.

i don't know if he ever took the 20mm to market, but i bet for every one he might sell, he could have sold a hundred super shortys. way to overestimate the market.
