As promised to another anon, I've got some footage of the Walther semiauto shotgun in action.
Sorry for shilling for my own YouTube page, but I figure this is the best way to show the video. I'm more than willing to delete this thread stick this shit in /wsg/ if you guys want.
---
Shooting my new(old) Walther semiautomatic shotgun in 12 gauge (2-1/2" shells) that holds 5+1 shells. The shotgun was the brainchild of the Walther brothers, but built in the Deutsche Werke plant during the interwar period on the Walther license. Production ran from 1921-2 through 1931 with perhaps less than 6000 units produced.
While it is not the first toggle action shotgun to exist, with earlier patents granted to Hiram Maxim, John Browning, and Carl Hoffman, it's a very unique action in which the shotgun utilizes a semi-long recoil operation (1" to 1-1/2" of the length of the shell), but is not quite short recoil.
The cause of the jam in the first video is the last shell hitting the side of the chamber.
This shotgun is also featured in the new Cawadootdoot Wawa2 video game as the "Toggle Action", but features a dissimilar manual of arms and a drum magazine where the elevator and toggle would reside.

>yfw that fucker is going to 2x in value after COD comes out
I had two Frommer's in my collection and thanks to Battlefield, I doubled my money on both of 'em just because you get people buying them because they're in the video game.
Which kinda sucks, because the things used to be had for $200-300ish in good condition and now you're going to pay $300+ for one that's broke.

That's super cool. Like sci-fi cool

I'm conflicted when it comes to firearms in video games, I appreciate these wars getting coverage in the mainstream (WWI specifically), but I hate the price jump when someone sees a gun that's in the game.

because the cartridge is transferring its energy to the slide and bolt before ejecting.

Even the loading process alone is making my dick happy.
That's one sexy shotgun.
