If you're able to buy it, I'd recommend the SPAS 12.
It looks cool, and fires in both pump-action and semi-auto.


It's also a pretty bad shotgun all things considered.

Kind of lame if cosmetically speaking, it looks close to identical to the M4 variant they use now. Worse, is that it uses the same caliber and isn't moving to a round with greater punch such as 6.5 mm Grendel. The M27 IAR appears to not constitute any major shakeup or innovation.

Because the firearms industry doesn’t grave any major shakeups left. We’re proabbly going to stick with the M4 and 5.56 until we get handheld automatic rail guns

If we’re going for gimmicks they better be good ones. Making it so that we don’t have anymore “well endowed chick gets brass down the bra” videos is not one of those.

Story here, but I remember awhile back talking with one of my friends online, who got together the money to go buy his father's Chinese SKS. Original production, etc.

Unfortunately, as soon as he paid him the money, his dad gave him said money back and said that he was selling the SKS to someone else. Apparently, his dad didn't even want it.

F to pay respects to that SKS.

i thought the M249 was one of the best SAWs in the world. Also will the US military not be satisfied until they've replaced every gun with an M16 or M4 look alike?

I love the M1911 pistol for practical usage, and a MP5 is fun to fire as well.

When it comes to "fun" guns that I'll probably never be able to touch, the Kel-Tec KSG-12 tactical shotgun is probably my favorite.
