Just watched movie last week

...And it wasn't a shotgun, it was supposed to some kinda grenade launcher (judging from the results)...Pretty sure itwas something the prop guys cooked up, though

No, it was the real deal. South African made IIRC. I also think that was Tom Beringer's first or one of the first movies he ever made.

We're talking about that thing with the drum mag, right? (Bear with me, it's been a few years since I saw the flick.)

I think it's a Stryker shotgun. Made in South Africa. See review in 1986 Shotgun Digest.

The shotgun used in that movie was a custom piece built by the Dlask Corporation in Vancouver Canada. They have a picture of it on their website.

look under their custom guns for movies.
