I came across an unusual shotgun on Gunbroker that originates from South Africa. It's an Uzi-type layout that uses proprietary 12 gauge mini-shells. Just something neat that I wanted to share.

The pen is mightier than the sword, but only when you're shoving it through your enemy's throat.

SOG used to sell these a few years back and still get one once in awhile.

Pretty cool design.
Too bad about the proprietary ammo. That's probably a good thing though, as I'd start lusting after one if I thought I could feed it...
If the only thing different about the shell is the length, I imagine one could fabricate a set of dies for it and handload for it. (But, I have a feeling it's more than just shell length....)Originally Posted by Dr. Gonzo GED

The write up claimed it uses a 2.36" shell.Pretty cool design.

I'm wondering if 1.5" Aguila mini-shells would feed. If not, you could always cut .4" off of a regular shell and re-crimp it, I'd imagine.

Sounds like a PITA.
I'd just get a saiga and call it good'nuff.
they were advertised in SOG flyers thta you use the aguila minis speficically.
the minis arent much and still pack a punch.

Yep Aguila Minis should work in these things.
Ingterisiting gun. I wonder if you can get spare mags for it. It would be a crying shame to have only one mag for it.
Doobie Doobie Doo..
I remember those shotguns. I also remember they had less than stellar reviews of them as well.
When these were out in volume, people were returning them all the time because when you shoot it, its not like a standard pump shotgun when you just pullback. You have to push forward a bit for it to unlock (something that I figured that could have been modified out).
They are designed for the mini shells like the Agulias.
Spare mags are hard to come by but not impossible.
The originals had a top folding stock and much shorter barrel. I had always wondered if it could be modified into a semi auto config.

I agree except I want my flavor to be Benelli M2.
