Lone Star Arms - A shotgun builder and a film industry Teamster head out to the high desert country of New Mexico to field test two custom Kalashnikov 12 gauge shotguns. The purpose of the test was to establish cycling reliability with 12 round magazines and a twenty round drum, and additionally to test the semi auto fire rate of the shotguns. These custom Kalashnikov shotguns performed flawlessly cycling ammo ranging from high brass 00 buck, to $20 100 pack ammo from a well know national chain store.

cool stuff, gotta work on that bumpfire thing from the shoulder. saigas are the most fun Ive had in a while.

@funshootin1 I believe the firearms blog mistakenly reported that we were bumpfiring from the shoulder. We are not bumpfiring at any point in the video.

Each discharge of the firearm is the result of an intentional and directed pull of the trigger, and not recoil assisted "bump" fire.

These guns are performance tuned and are very, very fast, but what you are observing is normal semi automatic fire at an extremely high rate of on target delivery.

The guy in the sleeveless t-shirt is my buddy Tommy. He's in the film business, but on the Teamster side of the camera.

The problenm therein is that reguardless of licencing, YOU can't get an AA-12.

It's better that way anyhow.

The AA-12 is too bulky & quite a bit heavier than the S-12. Not to mention it costs around $10,000 for those who can buy it (Blackwater & Military branches).

The Saiga-12 has AK simplicity, & once tuned right, unless you're a 95 lb girl, who can't handle recoil The S-12 wins hands down.

But what I really want to know, is...

Is that Danny Devito in the tank-top?

I wish someone could make a video comparing Saiga vs. USAS 12.
