Presenting the Mossberg Chainsaw! W. T. F.

[R1100R]

I watched a guy order one at a LGS. He came back to buy one but i was sold on layaway I believe. It was all I could do to keep a straight face. But I had my son with me and he kept talking about how cool it was. 12 yo Boys what in the hell do they know. LOL

It's miles ahead of their tactical lever rifle in my opinion.

Mossberg needs to clean house in the R&D department.

Gang, I agree that its a strange looking weapon..., but it does have a very specific function.

The handle design is meant to make it a better entry device. It provides better control of the shotgun as the shooter blows the hinges of a door which is often a better technique to blow a door instead of trying to take out the lock and handle. The muzzle break with its "teeth" allows for taking a good bite on the door and the correct standoff from the hinge. Get too close to the hinge and you don't get enough of a pattern to destroy the entire hinge. Standoff too much and you'll have 00 buck bouncing around everywhere thus making for some pissed off buddies in your four-stack. The rails are useful for mounting a white or IR light since folks who have a need for such a specialized shotgun tend to do their best work during the hours of darkness.

I've never fired one, but did observe an organization training with one like it. The results were very good.

If people buy it, who cares? They are making stuff to make a profit. I don't really care what they sell or how it looks if someone gets some enjoyment out of it.

It's an obvious marketing strategy that targets stupid kids who worship their stupid video games.

I'm personally not a fan of the look of it, but I do think it would be a great breeching gun, and I'm a fan of anything that gets more guns into the hands of law-abiding citizens; no matter how ugly I think they are!

From the begining I thought it was a good idea. The pistol grips should only be fired from the hip in my opinion.

I actually saw one of those at the Hendersonville gun show a few weeks ago. Not sure if it was the exact one, but it did have that grip on it.
