That's a great gun for a take-down, or other short "in out" operation...

Long term, it's suck to haul all the ammo that thing gobbles up

Most of us really like the Benellis (M4) Uncle Sugar is buying

Exactly, I wouldn't want to take it into the bush or anything.

The AA-12 would be hot for USCG boarding teams too!

We have been switching over to 14" barreled 870s with synthetic sights and Elcan sights. I used to dread shooting slugs out of the old 870s, but the new stock makes it sweet. The only bad thing about the AA-12 is no way to rack the slide and give gomer one last chance to back off!!!

It's funny that they just come up with that now...? Video games have had those types of guns for years now.
