super shorty shotgun

i know weapons usually go in the weaponry section but this shotgun looks like a perfect survival weapon a 12 ga that would fit in most bobs and with aguila mini 12 ga. shells recoil would not be too bad.

so check out the super shorty.

I don't know about super shorties, but I do have a couple of Mossberg Cruisers for those odd situations. The Cruiser is apparently available from Serbu as a shorty.

You have to have a license for the Shorty but not for the Cruiser.

Shotguns would be a useable option for survival situations. However for a shotgun to be of any real use it needs to have a decent length barrel. The Super Shorty only has a 6.5" barrel.

The shotgun that I use for game shooting (a Lanber Sporting De Luxe 12ga. O/U) has a 28" barrel. This only has a useable range of about 50m at a p ush. A 6.5" tube will give you an effective range of about 5m before accuracy and velocity drop too far to be of use. It's only real use would be as a breeching shotgun loaded with powdered lead shot (Hatton type rounds).

Still, I bet that it would scare the living hell out of someone at close range!
