NB: Shotguns are not destructive devices, even with a .729 caliber bore.
The USAS 12 and “Street Sweeper” are both now considered DDs. Thanks again '94 AW Ban.
Yeah, my dad has a Striker 12 gauge. It is a “destructive device” and he has a packet of gummint paperwork to prove he legally owns it. I can’t remember the last time anybody shot it; had to have been in the late 90’s. Its classification as a DD is a fine example of government idiocy at work. Except under certain very specialized circumstances, it has absoluely nothing to recommend it over a conventional pump or self-loading shotgun. It’s heavy, has shit ergonomics, takes forever to load, and you have to make sure the drum is wound. If I needed to defend myself with a shotgun, I’d rather have a Remington 870.
I had to sell mine. My nanny state does not allow civilian owned DD’s or class 3’s.
