  • AA12 Assault Shotgun

    Here is something I came across recently... thought you guys might get a kick out of it....

    U.S. NAVY SEAL TEAM AA12 ASSAULT SHOTGUN

    The Fly Destroyer.WMV

    The AA12 Assault Shotgun is a weapon constructed with heat treated, corrosion resistant, aircraft quality stainless steel. It is gas operated, air cooled and fires from the open bolt. The A12 is both box magazine and drum fed having a rate of fire 360 rounds per minute. When correctly fired, there is a counter recoil mechanism incorporated in the design of the gun which reduces recoil to a minimum. This automatic shotgun may be fired single shot by releasing the trigger quickly after each round or fully automatic by holding the trigger to the rear without releasing it.

    There are no tools necessary for field maintenance and cleaning of this weapon. It best operates without the use of oils or lubricants and may be cleaned with soap and water. Removal of the barrel assembly only requires the use of a 3/16 inch allen wrench, while complete disassembly and assembly requires the use of fingers only. Within the design there is a cone shaped barrel extension which provides! 100% positive feed.

    10. Minimum recoil directly to the rear.

    11. Non-rising muzzle which retains target acquisition.

    12. Protective cover for all functioning assemblies which serves as a stock and grip for the weapon and protects the user from heat generated from firing.

    Is this real, or a program that's being developed?
    Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

    Abusing Yellow is meant to be a labor of love, not something you sell to the highest bidder.

      I just did a search on Google and looks like a private venture project. I think this is the manufacturer: http://midamericarecreation.com/

      Perhaps someone else can shed more light on this weapon...

        The website says stuff about 8 round box mag and 32 round drum mag, but not 20 round drum mag.

                Why? Can you guarantee you'll use it only for "good" things?
