Low/No Recoil Auto Shotgun

This looks like another rendition of the "Atchisson Assault Shotgun". This marvel is capable of full auto fire and uses 10 round box mags and a 25 round drum and is pretty useless. The gun has been around for about 30 years and hasn't gone anywhere because you just don't need a full auto shotgun. One round of 00 buck will place nine .36 balls on the target; do you really need a multiple round burst? Shotgun shells are large and bulky which makes feeding this full auto wonder a problem. The gun is designed like an AR, another problem. One of the shotgun's advantages is its point fire ability; this is due to the design of the shotgun itself. Any move away from this design (a la the AR design) is a step in the wrong direction.

Many claims have been made about this gun's reliability and durabilty which are questionable because there aren't any on the market. About 30 years ago a guy who ran IPSC matches on the south shore became a dealer in these wonder guns. He took a bunch of deposits and was never heard from again. Fear of legal action prevents me from naming names and places.
