Pic related. Looking for a general fun / home defense shotgun. The Shockwave looks like a lot more fun, but I could just get a maverick or even a 500 and spend way less money. Is the Shockwave worth the extra? What do I get out of it?
>>34009922
its a meme, but a good place to start if you wanna get a stamp down the line.
>>34009922
if you have enough grip that you don't need to shoulder it, or you're ok with low capacity, go for it
>>34010027
So if you have a strong grip with the non dominant hand, it's a better situation than having a shoulder stock? Interesting...
>>34010150
Or dominant hand, whichever I mean
>>34010150
If you are shooting with your non dominant hand, you may also be using your non dominant eye. At which point, firing from the hip may actually help in close quarter situations.
It's a meme, but it's a fun meme
>>34010150
PGO shotguns all suck. All of them. No exceptions.
It's a fun toy but for HD either get a regular 500 (590, whatever, just be sure it has a stock) or better still an intermediate caliber semi-auto rifle.
I have been thinking of getting one, seems like a fun toy and a great truck gun.
>Is the Shockwave worth it?
TLDR: No. It is usable, but it is not ideal. A shotgun that has a stock is going to be easier to use and more capable in any real world situation that requires you to use a shotgun.
If you want the long version, watch this: https://www.full30.com/video/6afd3affeea07031b08c3dcb5cfc3604

More of a meme. InRange had a good video on it. Im sure with practice it could be useful but its nothing more as something to get oohhhhhh and ahhhhs at the range. Im sure its not really fun to shoot with defensive loads as well.

>not getting a real gun
>>34009922
you should get one to match your hk45 and 3' machete.
>>34010479
whats that notch type attachment on the side?!
>>34009922
Put a sig brace on it.
I just got one the other day and it's fun as hell. I'm sure there are better shotguns, but i like it a lot.
It's such a fucking meme but holy shit I want one so much.
How about for a truck gun?
Really the only thing I'd want it for

The grip angle on the Shockwave makes a huge difference. I wish they had included it in their test. The double barrel would still win likely, but the Shockwave would be a closer second.
It points much better, and recoil is way more manageable. I built my pgo like a month before they released the shockwave. That grip transformed the gun from "cool but painful" to "I have to ration my shells or I'll shoot all day"
>>34010637
hand stop?

idk which exact model.
Not having a stock on a shotgun is fucking dumb. Why are you deliberately trying to sabotage your ability to hit things?
>>34010881
Because it's better to be 80% effective with a weapon small enough to keep with you (in whatever space constraints you have) than to be 100% effective with a gun that you had to leave at home because it's too damn big.
>>34010881
But how will I look sexy while defending my vagina from bandits??
>>34010897
There is no reason whatsoever to not have a stock on a shotgun in the wonderful time we live in. There are both collapsible and folding stocks that don't suck ass and instantly make your shotgun an actual viable self defence gun instead of a fucking meme.
>>34011014
Well while you were busy missing them with every shot, they flanked you and conquered your butt instead.
>>34011064
I think what you're missing here is that it's a perfect base for an SBS. Sort of like getting an AR pistol then filing SBR paperwork for it.
>>34011106
Oh shit I'm sorry. It always slips my mind that your rights are cancelled when the ATF gets involved. It blows my mind that you guys have to register a fucking shotgun if the barrel is at a realistically good length for home defense.
>>34011106
its really not considering how cheap and easy to replace shotgun barrels are. unless you really cant wait and dont mind spending extra.
its not an ak where replacing a barrel is an ordeal.
>>34011272
Can you even buy shotgun barrels under 18"?
>>34011371
Yeah, as long as you buy a saw with it
>>34011371
you can order them directly from rem or mossberg
>>34009922
Solution is obvious. Buy shockwave, attach ar15 stock adapter, side folding unit and sig Sbx on the back. Throw on a recoil reducing grip like the scorpion for good measure. Add opsol mini clip to increase mag capacity and reduce recoil by cycling mini shells. Put a railing top and a see all open sight on top and I think you've got something there.
>>34012351
Sbx won't turn it into an Sbs since it's not a butt stock but it is okay to shoulder now per ATF. Since it is over 26 inches unfolded it's also not an aow. Enjoy your basically a butt stock but not really.
>>34012396
that looks like it would be incredibly painful to shoulder
no buttpad only 1 sorta solid place
>>34012413
Normally yes but remember you're running mini shells.
>>34012413
You could go with an sb15 which would maybe be more comfortable I just find them ugly as sin.
>>34012413
For a shotgun, maybe. It's fine on "pistols".
>>34011234
What bastion of freedom do you reside in that has completely no regulation on any weapons?
>>34010479
That doesn't look like it'd be comfortable to hold at all.
>>34010257
This
I would only consider getting one to thumb my nose at the ATF.
Shotguns in general are meme strong, but go for it, i bought one 3 days ago.
>>34010831
Motorcycle gun. Imma mad max the shit out of my Shockwave when it gets in
do you think the shockwave would be a good friend to a man armed with a bolt action gun?
like as a sidearm for an urban sniper
>>34015710
That loadout would be pretty decent for urban sniping if someone stumbles onto your vantage point, but you'd at least want a silenced Glock 43 for sneaking from point to point. The shotgun would draw a lot of attention.
