Hello, yes this is a DP-12 thread.
Can't handle that? Better just shitpost and leave now.
I am seriously considering buying the DP-12. The price is not an issue, though I'd always prefer to spend less, but my worry is that this gun is simply pointless.
>is it too heavy?
>can it be used for birdhunting
>what chokes can be used if any
>how heavy does it get when fully loaded with some heavy rounds?
I am seriously considering this purchase because it fill some hard to fill checks on a unique situation I have. You see, I have to use blackpower, that's BP, much of the time when I shoot shotguns. It's a weird rule where I like to shoot.
At first I found the rule fun, and I learned alot about reloading and BP because of it. But I've shot here so much I really DON'T want to shoot anywhere else. It's my little paradise.
So I plan to use BP shells alot in this DP-12. Might as well call it a BP-12. I think it will be good because as a pump action, it will not foul up and be unusable quickly from the BP. And it is essentially 2 semiauto shots every pump.
Also, home defense. I plan to use normal rounds for that, but I only want to buy one new shotgun and the DP-12 could be a good rapidfire, highcapacity homedefense shotgun AS WELL as a BP shell thrower.
Other guns I was considering are
>the Vepr 12
>a Black Aces Tactical
(I nixed them off my list because they cannot shoot 3" shells, apparently)
And that's it.
>tl;dr
I am probably buying this here DP-12 because I want a home defense gun, but also want to shoot BP through it when I'm at a restricted shooting location.

I should mention the Vepr got the axe because I don't trust it to handle the BP shells, even though some folks have told me it should.
>>32428809
what in the fook is a DP-12 lad?
>>32428826
>aluminum
Into the trash etc. Doesn't even matter that it's ``aircraft grade'' so don't bother with that argument faggot.
>>32428844
It's a double barrel pumpaction shotgun.
14+2 total capacity. Can take up to 3" shells.
I just wish it was double trigger as well, so you could choose your barrel.
>>32428847
I guess you don't like AR15s either. Every metal part isn't aluminum either, just what's indicated.
The KSG has plastic at those areas.
>>32428855
Holy crap so it's a legitimate double pump instead of this bastard
>>32428809
Get this instead...
>>32428809
Before I forget, I should mention that at a lgs the clerk told me they had not been able to move them at that location. They were going for about 13k there.
Online, I'm seeing roughly 11k.
I am wondering if it'd behoove me to wait until after the holidays are over to purchase, do you think they'll go up or down in price or stay the same?
>>32428905
That will handle BP?
>>32428928
>13k
>11k
That should be 1.3k and 1.1k. I do apologize.
Another positive to add, it felt exceptionally well balanced when I messed with it, and it is advertised to shoot any kind of 3" shell and smaller.
9 pounds unloaded though.
Anyone have opinions on the BP shells, or the price waiting?

I had no idea this existed.
New #1 entry on my want list, thanks OP.
I own one. It's really fucking fun. Haven't had any issues with it so far. The only thing is that it's pretty fucking heavy.
>DP
double penetration?
>>32429639
Pump.
Jesus christ OP, be a little bit more insecure about your purchases why don't you.
>>32428933
Why are you so hung up on BP, Are you mass producing black powder out of piss and rotten eggs in the mountains of utah for muh habbening?
>>32429650
>projecting
What are you talking about, they want to know if it will work for the reasons listed.
>>32429677
>they
Uh huh.
>>32429650
I just want to know if there's any reason(s) I should not get one. It seems to actually fulfill my needs but it does seem weird as hell.
>>32429671
I shoot alot on a private gun clubs land. Only rule (for the most part) is BP rounds only. Now I think the idea was to keep the guns more old timey but I won't be the first running BP through something quite modern there. I love shooting there and I have come to love BP. I understand it, I load it myself and I even have made it from scratch before. Yes I do like BP.
But like I said I plan to use regular modern rounds anywhere else. Like in my home as an HD gun.
In fact, I have been wondering if it will cycle those super short HD rounds. Do >>32429588 you know?
>>32429712
>fag
buhhuh
>>32429714
it must weigh a ton, especially when fully loaded. Imagine a double-barrel shotgun and 14+2 shells. We're probably looking at around 10 pounds.
I don't see any reason why they shouldn't run BP rounds. You'll foul up the gun faster and require more cleaning but from a functional standpoint it should work.
I'm pretty darn sure it can take chokes.
I doubt it can be used for bird hunting. I don't hunt so I don't know the rules, but I'm pretty sure it has way too high of a capacity to hunt birds with it and I'm not sure how shotgun mag blockers work.
As for weight, its heavy as shit. It's a giant high capacity shotgun, weight will always be an issue. Its just the nature of the best.
From what I know about them, they are gimmicky but they work well. If you want it and don't care about the cost, get it.
The real question here is will a Vepr 12 eat BP well enough for a day of shooting.
>>32429767
are you
>>32429588
>>32429774
From the limited information I could gather, it doesn't look good for the Vepr.
While it is built on the venerable RPK format, it is still a gas gun of sorts. I was not able to find anything online directly about it, but I knew BP should work in any semi. So here I am.
>>32429774
>>32429832
An inertia/recoil operated shotgun could and have shot BP in semiauto.
I can only think of THE REMINGTON MODEL 11 right now.
>>32429799
Nope. I don't actually own one but I fingerfucked one at a gun store.
>>32429767
>As for weight, its heavy as shit
4u
The real question here is what colour to get.
>>32429887
Could a Benelli M3 shoot blackpowder and cycle correctly you think?
>>32429941
Green
What would the best sight/optic for a gun like this be?
>>32430141
Some kind of low profile red dot.
>>32429714
>In fact, I have been wondering if it will cycle those super short HD rounds. Do >>32429588 # you know?
I haven't tried, so Im not sure. I don't see why they wouldn't, though.

You could totally DP someone with one of these, load with slugs, pump, then pull the trigger two times, they've now been double penetrated the hardest in their entire life.
>>32430202
I just realized that's an air soft picture. Fuck me. I ordered a real TP9 .
>>32428855
I have those chokes
DP20 when?
I want that lighter recoil with slugs.

I think this needs to be discussed more.
>>32428809
I know it sounds crazy but I'd like to see something like this with just one tube and one barrel.
That isn't just a shell for an existing gun. Because those things seem like a bitch to take apart.
>>32433236
>>32433236
The fuck.
>>32433236
I guess you want a Mossberg Bullpup?
It's a kit, I know, but it looks badass.
I figure, if you put a bit of work on it, then maybe it can be alright, and maybe you could fit a 590A1 in there.
>>32433612
Are you saying the DP-12 is based on the Mossberg 500?

>>32433650
No, just that it would be similar in how you'd use it, and it's length.
