Meh, shotguns have very limited use in the US military as-is. Though, I'll grant that the design is interesting since you could use it to get around anti-burt fire laws (and I've already seen a similar concept modified just to do that).

I just know there are a few on here that would love to have a 55 gallon drum of 5.56 XM885 or 7.62x51 XM80.
I can just imagine the look on the UPS driver that has to deliver that to the front door. :lol:
