The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - The Ultimate Combat Shotgun - The AA-12...does any army now use it?

The AA12 seems to be the answer to a question no one in the real world is asking.

With one full mag, the weight approaches 15 lbs. That's the equivalent of an M4 and 100 rounds. My hunch is the M4 is a bit faster to handle also.

Much as I like shotguns, for the military a good rifle is almost always the better choice....
