AA-12 -- The Ultimate Infantry Weapon

[Crepitus]

The semi-automatic version is available to the public.




The fully-automatic version is not.

Against the Geneva Conventions, not that you're gonna care, and my Saiga is less likely to jam.

Do you have a link to that?

To the Geneva Conventions? Are you serious?

AA12 Sledgehammer Shotgun Available for Civilian Sale

As far as drool-worthy unobtainium goes, the mythical full-auto AA12 "Sledgehammer" shotgun ranks up there amongst the best of them.

It is quite simple to search "weapons banned by Geneva Conventions". I have done so and found no evidence of any shotguns being banned. If you claim the AA-12 has been banned by the Geneva Conventions, you should provide evidence.

I think you are either mistaken or lying.

Apparently I am misinformed. My understanding was that they were first prohibited by the Hague accord and then further restricted by the Geneva Conventions. It seems that while there was discussion of the subject during both they didn't end up on the final draft of either.

Learn something new every day I guess.

I have a civilian model of the infamous Browning's Pat. U.S. Mod. 1897 aka Model 97 shotgun. Mine was made in 1901 and is just as solid (and heavy) as it was when the Doughboys were sweeping the trenches with the military model. The German government posted a diplomatic complaint about the '97 while both sides were using poison gas. The unique thing about the '97 is that you could fire almost semi-auto by holding the trigger back while pumping rounds into the chamber. Fully automatic shotguns are a (fast) waste of ammo.

...especially if the barrel is higher than the shoulder end of the stock. I like the low barrel of the AA-12.

Frag grenades fill the mission of automatic shotguns. You just have to stay out of the way.
