Title: Super Shorty
Post by: gunman42782 on January 07, 2012, 04:17:38 AM: Well, I got to shoot one of these today:

Dang if I ever want to again! First shot was with a 3 inch shell, and it hurt like heck. Second shot was with a 2 3/4, and this time I pushed on the forward grip, and it was not near as bad. My right wrist and hand still hurt. It may mess up my love life for awhile!

I wonder why they don't have any dimensions on the machinegun parts. Not like anyone would make them because that would be against the law.
If you outlaw machine guns only outlaws would have machine guns.

Wait, who has the machine guns?

IRS, DHS, ATF, DEA, and a lot more alphabet agencies.....

Should be able to, it's a pump so not pressure sensitive.
Might get jams from the short shells having room to move during the loading cycle.
We should get MB to try this out.
For that matter any one with a pump could try it.

I notice he made the video of shooting it but since then it has not been mentioned as a "range gun".
Maybe it just brings back bad memories of the Flu he had at the time ;D
