I saw an article on those once online, but I can't remember where. It is apparantly almost recoiless (for a 12 ga), and was tested in a minor way in Iraq.
I'll try and find that article.

A nice piece of equipment and an impressive video.

Actually the idea has been around for a while. Rock River made them in the late 60's for the SEALS.

three inch?
Looks like an awsome weapon. Very similar to the USAS-12. What I wonder is if it will shot 3" Mag rounds. The USAS won't. It's 2 3/4 only.
Also I would sure like to see a deminstration of those explosive rounds. |

Meh, it's cool but I don't like the way the magazine mounts too it. I think a select-fire USAS would fill this niche a little better.

Meh, I'd rather the USAS-12!
Select fire M-16 Shotgun, Priceless ...
How about a belt-fed SAW varient, or upper for an implaced defensive weapon ... |
