The guy who said it would stay on target every time reminds me of Zorg

the_sidewinder

It looks like it has minimal recoil, but it is not recoilless.

CruJones

Course they sell 'em at Sam's! You can only buy them in boxes of 20, though...

Hobo740

@J.T.: You are familiar with the defense industry aren't you? There are more than just a few businesses constantly working on ways to more efficiently kill people...

@logruszed:

he was probably talking about using slugs rather than spread buckshot/birdshot-type shells.

drewheyman

@logruszed: I love how after he says that, the host talks about how it's the ideal close range weapon. I'm sure if you shot it at a 45 degree angle a few pieces of shot will go far lol.

Auto Shotgun FTW

Reminds me of the "Streetsweeper" from the "Weapons of Destruction" Quake 2 mod.

Awesome.

Bad Ass..

Can I get my daughter the pink Hello Kitty model, matching plastic jewelery (No lead),and tassles on the grips?

@ugadawg: Do you even watch the news?

DustyButt

The guy who was interviewed as the CEO or owner of the company claimed it has a 150 or 200 meter effective range during the original broadcast of this.

Yeah, right. 150 meters my ass.

logruszed

Now I've just got to get my hands on one of these before the imminent zombie apocalypse. Do they sell them at Sam's Club?

Corehop

What?
It's for deer hunting.

DustyButt

i want to take it skeetshooting!

Holy shit...

Goodnight...

i4ni

He's like the Steve Irwin of guns 'n' ammo. He's so bad ass though. As a former SEAL I'm surprised he isn't contracted with Blackwater. He'd have no problem getting a job with them since most of the weapons demo's that I've seen are filmed on the Blackwater compound.

ugadawg

My initial response was that this was awesome, but... do we really need more efficient ways of killing people? /pacifism.

J.T.

Man i hate how this guy talks, its always in a secretive whisper like nobody should know about this

Ezhax

i hope the good terminator uses this in the new Fox tv show.

astrograph

I want one of these.

GizFanAlpha

It's like a bomb going off that you can aim.
Round: 00 ("double-ought")
Size: .33" (8.4 mm)
Pellets: 8

Basically, 8 rounds per shot x 20 round clip. 160 rounds just short of 9mm in size is sure to lay down some suppressive fire. It's just in time for Quake Wars too!

vagrant

@Derrick:

It's made of magic, retard.

i4ni

I don't see how it would need no cleaning after firing regular rounds. One of the main things you do after firing a firearm is clean out all the carbon that built up from the rounds you just fired. I know that with either my pistol or my rifle I can take it out fire like 50 rounds and take it apart and it's got carbon dust all inside so how would this shotgun be any different.

Derrick

@DustyButt: Yes I do. Several sources in fact. I know that Blackwater is in some deep schitt and their tactics are being put into question. I'm just making an observation about the host of the show. Here you've got a guy that comes across as the perfect fit for their organization. He seems to get off when showing new weapons. To me that's in keeping with the characteristic portrayed in the media of the typical employee of Blackwater deployed out in the field.

ugadawg

No cleaning, no maintenance - perfect urban assault weapon for the dumb thug.

Skeptical_Geezer

Why is it that gun makers, whether large and corporate or small and personal, sound like idiots?

Aaron Martin-Colby

@soliong: "They should include this weapon in the next zombie game"

if they did that it would take all the fun and challenge out of the game. :)

Hunty

@Gann: almost

strider_mt2k

Reminds me of the mod for the original Doom game that allowed the shotgun to fire at the speed of the the chaingun. Nice.

scingram

It'll kill ya three times before you hit the ground.

essequemodeia

Give me this plus a 500 round backpack/belt feed mechanism. Yes please.

mrrobotanger

The perfect weapon for a zombie apocalypse. They should include this weapon in the next zombie game (ie Resident Evil, Half-life, Halo 3)

soliong

"virtually totally recoiless"?

Gann

So, is this going to be out in time for quail season?

FreeMan

They showed this off quite a while ago. It's not just limited to normal shells either. It can shoot frag grenades, rubber round, etc...and can be mounted to a vehicle and operated remotely.

[www.youtube.com]

tdj114

"low-recoil" != "recoilless". You can't get rid of recoil altogether with standard firearms; it's just not possible. You can reduce it with a lot of travel on the bolt/slide, but there's still gonna be some force imparted to your shoulder.

That said, I saw this episode of "Future Weapons" like 3 months ago. Nice gun.

Rhainor

I heard lead being dispense at alarming rate. Is China at it again? Recall anyone.

Azteck

At what point do we consider that we are making small industrial self propelled hand held (buck shot) sand blasters and no longer making weapons?

I mean seriously, you are already taking a "riot gun" with ability to carve a single hole in a large crowd, and turning it in to a "Gatling riot gun" that can carve through the whole Westboro Baptist Church with one clip?

I do consider carving up the Westboro Baptist Church a "PLUS" but thats a whole different conversation.

axiomatic

One new BIG reason not to go hunting with Dick Cheney.

"Freakin' Sweet!"

Um, this has been around for a while. Not only that, but the much, much, much cooler video/story is that someone attached this to an unmanned helicopter.

Anyone know where i can order one?

Reminds me of this...[www.youtube.com]

Acutally, I think this guy shoots faster with this recoiless Baretta.

Noobs-R-Us

@maswell: I can only imagine that none of those people have ever seen a terminator movie. Good grief!

cayton

O yes if i had this in Counter-Strike lol

Bllo

@logruszed: Yea 150m, BS.
1) Its a shotgun, as its buckshot it just spreads out, after even 50ms, that shit would be everywhere, and u'd have shit all chance of hitting a target.
2) Is it just me...or did it barely punch a hole thru plywood from 20ms away?

Don't get me wrong, this is a badass gun. But its a shotgun ffs, its suited to close range. DOES NOT HAVE A 150M RANGE.

tin

@soliong:
I was just gonna say: This would be the perfect zombie weapon.

timerider42

Nice..

DJJS

instead of making TV shows about these, how bout delivering em to our boys in iraq, for ultimate terrorist pwnage

MacAddict21

Wow, great!

Now give one of those to a kid that goes shooting people on schools and universities and brag much about how accurate it is, and how many people it can kill. Will sell like hell.

Bokusatsu_Tenshi

@drewheyman: Max effective range for a 12 gauge 2 3/4" slug is about 100 yards, With a sabot it jumps up to around 125 yards. But even the top of the line sabot has about 3' of drop at those ranges and this weapons sighting system is a scaled up version of that found on the M-16.

Also I just found another article claiming it has an effective range of 200m, not 150m.

I call utter PR bullshit on this.

logruszed

STRIDER_MT2K: Reminds me of the "Streetsweeper" from the "Weapons of Destruction" Quake 2 mod.

is there a blackpowder version of this?

Holy shit.

Would make a better upgrade to the auto shotty in CS. That thing blows. The 12 guage one headshot machine though.

bitfactory

think about that with slugs

teqsun.com

Oh snap, just when i was through wanting to go back in the military, they come up with crap like this.

beetlebailey

virtually totally recoil-less.

It works 68% of the time, all the time.

rainfever

@maswell: WIN.

WorkingOnYourInvoice

@lordargent: (freeze grenade 'em first. ;) )

strider_mt2k

Now I know what you're asking . . . did he fire 299 rounds or 300? Tell ya the truth, in all the action I lost track myself.

aboriginal

isn't the 150m range supposed to be ONLY for the fin-stabilized grenade round? I've seen the video and nowhere they said that it has a 150m range for normal ammo (I seem to recall hearing 100ft, which seems a lot more reasonable for that) OTOH they did say that due to the fins that particular round can be used up until 150m or so, ranges previously unthinkable for a shotty.

wdreamsmaycome

@MacAddict21:
oh yeah all those "terrorists" in Iraq.
The ones that are still hiding the WMDs so many years later.

calaverasgrandes

Looks to me like they are using birdshot. That stuff has no recoil. Try single "0" buckshot. That thing would cause some real damage and serious kick.

FrankenPC

my question is, "will it blend?"

rdldr1

Zombie killer for the 22nd century

wanago

they wouldn't put it in a video game because it would make it too unfair

AznSmith

@wdreamsmaycome: [www.defensereview.com]

is an article that is basically a reprint of the PR material that the manufacturer hands out.

just search for either "200m" or "range" and you'll see the reference.

They actually claim 200m for this weapon. and fin stabilized or not you still have the same initial velocity of around 15,000-16,000fps and it slows rapidly from there; hence the enormous drop after 100+ meters.

Don't get me wrong, this is probably a great CQB weapon, but I get the feeling that they are trying to sell this the way the Bradley was sold: "It can do anything. It's even a sniper rifle! Honest injun!"

logruszed

@Hunty: Simple solution, add additional and/or more resilient zombies.

As far as the real world instrument, while I admire it's effectiveness, I can never get too excited about new advances in weapon technology, considering that sooner or later some borderline-psychopath Blackwater merc is going to shred a third-world neighborhood to hamburger for looking at him funny. Hell, maybe closer to home than that, even.

Can't we use some of this brilliant engineering to, I dunno, deliver food to starving people? At 300 bananas a minute?

malex

That gun was originally marketed by a company called Sceptre out of Georgia, back in the '70s, like the video said. They took deposits from God knows how many people, including two from me, and they never delivered squat.

I wonder if they would still honor those deposits....?

brfivefournine

@calaverasgrandes: mebbee he meant Afghanistan? or mebbee even Saudi.

doofusgumby

@oo0cyst0oo:
and i hope they all live in your neighborhood, asshat

godwhacker

I hope they sell those to people on the black market for crime.

oo0cyst0oo

@godwhacker: that was sarcasm. asshat? might as well throw in a mama joke too.

ex: if they all live in my neighborhood, your mom might get hurt.

see?

oo0cyst0oo

Thats one helluva can opener.

stackybotrus

@reefdweller: The rifle ban for hunting in many areas has to do with population density, human not deer, and the danger of typical hunting rounds from a rifle vs those used in a shotgun.

It's actually not such a stupid notion if anyone were to actually think about it for a moment.

logruszed

No offense, but that thing looks like a toy, I used to own a NERF blaster that looked nearly identical to this.

GizFanAlpha

You know, New York State, in all of their wisdom, prohibits the use of rifles for deer hunting. I guess its unfair to the deer. Now, with the Governor's Mansion and lower Manhattan overrun with these freakin rats with antlers, I can now see the genius behind the decision to only permit shotguns.
"It's just a 12 guage, officer..."

hey, im as against the war as you sound like you are. but were there, and its better to kill them before they kill our soldiers. i have friends over there. @calaverasgrandes:

so the shotgun is sweet and all and i want a couple, but please tell me im not the only one who caught the bad dudes reference...

danger_the_pirate

Rampant ninja-related crimes these days - Whitehouse is not the exception!

cbdsteve

Stupid/evil as this sort of weapon is, it's an interesting way of getting around the usual problem with automatic weapons, which get inaccurate real quick once you try to empty a clip with one trigger press. With a shotgun, inaccuracy isn't as much of a problem.

Still, wow, talk about a solution looking for a problem.

PatrickAustin

Take that, deer!

kevjohn

@MacAddict21: There are no terrorists in Iraq, they are in afghanistan..

Unless you count Turkeys claim that the Kurds are terrorists, Turkey being an one of americas allies..

Which would mean Sadam was right to kill them, and didnt do anything wrong, since these are the people america are "freeing"..

Ohhhh when will this circle of lies ever end....

Sweet gun though

prodigal_son

@Ezhax: i thought i was the only one. that whisper thing he does annoys me. and why did discovery put a host thats afraid of heights on a show thats called build it bigger, that guy is such a bitch. overall, good shows though

dontforget

with a few modifications, you can turn one gun into five!

LastAndLeast

I think it should be my right to have one of these for home defense. ::Standing over a pile of hamburgered home invader:: "Officer, he had a screwdriver that looked like a gun!"

Seriously, I want one just because. Do they have interchangeable chokes? How well does it shoot slugs? =)

Razta

you're all missing the best part of this gun is getting two and having them mounted to the auto-turret mounted top of your "urban" vehicle. parking space arguments in best buy parking lots would roll your way every-time. totally virtually recoilless... 68% of the time.

mofoluck

@prodigal_son: Was that a joke I missed? No terrorists in Iraq? How about:
-Ansar al-Islam
-Jama'at al-Tawhid wa'al-Jihad(Al-Qaeda in Iraq)
-Abu Musab al-Zarqawi's Sunni network
-Jaish Ansar al-Sunna

All terrorist groups, all operating in Iraq. Where do you think the IED (Improvised Explosive Devices) that our soldiers and Iraqi citizens face on a daily bases are coming from? Local chapter of the Girl Scouts? By definition terrorism is The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons. That means every time a bus or a police station or a school is blown up in Iraq by a person or a group trying to intimidate or coerce the US and current Iraqi government, terrorism has been committed by terrorists.
Terrorists have been streaming across the border into Iraq since Saddam's regime was toppled, and probably before that. Even if you are rabidly against war, at least be informed. "Better to keep your mouth closed and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt"
