There is a short write-up on this in the newest SAR also. Another interesting detail (no photo, too bad) is "an integral five-round speedloading device (not seen) beneath the receiver. With the buttstock telescoped, minimum length is 34.9", and empty weight is 8.44 pounds. Metal surfaces are protected by a non-reflective milspec finish. Claimed endurance is 25,000 rounds of standard velocity 2.75" ammunition with no parts replacement. The stated accuracy is six or more 00 buckshot pellets from every round on a military E-type silhouette target at 40 meters."
Five of the weapons will be used at Aberdeen and ten more will go to the Marine shotgun school for user testing.
