Comments? It is hard for me to take this seriously, looks like a Homer designed gun.

The strong points of a "normal" pump are simplicity of operation, reliability, and flexibility, all features that are missing/compromised in this design.

IMO, if the normal pump shotgun is not enough, go to a good semiauto. Lighter, much faster, and no problems with short stroking. Also no problems with offset of the barrel (...which barrel did I just shot?), pumping memory (...did I fire one or two?), or safety (the DP 12 cannot put the safety on with only one round left, stupidity ifself). If you want/need REAL quick reloads, get a Saiga.

Looks like a gun solution to a problem that doesn't exist. Perfect for Vickers' YouTube channel ;)

It should go well with the arsenal double barrel 1911 for ultra HSLD work...

The only selling point of the DP12 over other offerings is a quick follow-up shot, which is negated by practicing with a regular pump or getting a semi. This gun is for people who don't shoot enough and still think the sound of a shotgun being pumped is enough to make a BG crap his pants and surrender.

At least the double 1911 looks nice...

He should do a Froglube vs. Fireclean test to see which smokes less in the DP12.

He could test them both simultaneous.

See how they break both ways? One
guy can break right, one left,
simultaneous. What do you think
of that?

I don't care how well made it is, it's a pulsating ball of suck and fail when it comes to the manual of arms.

hey no, you just can't put it on safe after you shoot one of the barrels... no big deal right? its also impossible to reload a pump shot gun in a stressful situation :rolleyes:

I might get behind the concept if it just was one barrel and feed tube. The end result being a lighter gun that was a bit less complicated in design. You lost me with two barrels.

If that thing lit off both barrels at the same time I could have some fun with it. Nothing practical, but it's getting close to that time of year that I can get a pickup load of pumpkins for a please and thank you, take them out to pasture and return them to the earth by blowing them apart.

An old short barrel Ithaca Mag-10 with 00 buck can do about the same, plus it comes with the cool name "Road Blocker".

There you go, Kel-Tec's KSG:

I would still take any other quality pump/semi vs this thing.

Cool idea, with Keltec quality. Might as well be a hi-point shotgun ;)

Except all the Hi-Points I've ever had experience with worked. They just felt like they were built out of lead Legos.
