The AA-12 shotgun
Okay, time for another weapon question. The AA-12 Auto shotgun....what's the status of this weapon? Is anyone currently testing it, fielding it, etc?
It seems like a promising design that uses plentiful 12 gauge ammunition (nothing fancy like the CAW design) but as I think perhaps Paul might have pointed out correctly in an earlier post about auto shotguns, they're niche weapons for special applications. Also, call me skeptical, but I did feel some warning bells go off when the designers claimed it didn't require cleaning or lubrication (unless I heard wrong). I recall the same mistaken impressions apparently went about when the M-16 came on to the scene...
