I saw this and the ones they had mounted on the top of the BW APC. My first thought on countermeasures were the following:

1 or 2 RPG rounds to take out the shotgun mount and EFPs mounted at 45 degree angles to hit the sloped sides at a perpendicular angle.

The recoil looks really manageable. I've never shot anythign like that however. Probably because this would be classified as a destructive device, and I don't know anyone with a destructive class license.

I guess that was developed out of the Saiga 12K? Or atleast the idea behind it... In comparision to the Saiga the recoil looks really manageable.

It certainly shows alot of influence of the striker 12 and Armsel striker.

You can only have a maximum of 3 shells in the magazine during fowl hunting.....so that's a no go there bud.

As for some of the terms and/or phrases I have a problem with that I feel the need to elaborate on:

Recoil, or the lack of it, doesn't make the firearm more accurate. Lack of or less recoil in the firearm allows for faster follow-up shots.

Assault is a behavior, not a device (ie. Assault rifle).

Any shotgun can fire lethal rounds, just because a shotgun was designed for the military from the ground up does NOT make it more or less lethal than any other shotgun in existence (who the hell wrote the script for the damn story here?).

Leave it to Ishmael to come up with countermeasures to our weapons.

But it's not one of "our" weapns. It was designed for and used by a private mercenary organization with no ties nor alliegance to either Constitution or government. They'll use them for whoever pays them the most money against the "Inevitable Consequence of Progress" of people unable to resist.

You and your left-wing spin crack me up...you obviously have such issues with the contracting companies in Iraq that you can't see the history of the AA 12. The history of this weapon is plainly before Iraq...wait...you'll state that in 1972, we had an interest in giving this weapon plans to our contractors knowing that in the 35 years we'll be in Iraq. They spent another 18 years refinning the weapon.

Defense Review Article with so many video links you can't shake a stick at...not to mention the continued interest by the US Marine Corps!


It's all a conspiracy!!!!!!

The weapon I was referring to was the BW APC. But the key question is whether one of those would stop in inbound cruise "model rocket". Besides, if it does get so desperate that I have to give up my vow of non-violence, my target won't be the security contractors but the homes of their bosses and employers.
