    Does this make me a bad person?

    Normally, my tastes in firearms run in only two directions: Practical, or collectible. If a gun isn't one that I have an actual use for, or isn't a bona fide blue-chip appreciating antique, my eyes kinds glaze over.

    But this right here, this hits me right in my gun nerd wheelhouse. It has absolutely no practical use whatsoever, but I want it as badly as any dumb gun I've seen since the first time I laid eyes on those .22LR StG-44 clones...

    EDIT: OH GOD SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

    I can explain it to you. I can’t understand it for you.

    The shotgun is VERY practical. AS long as you ride some sort of motorcylce in an end of the world/Road Warrior scenario. You must be prepared for everything and anything!! Look how useful it was for Mel Gibson.

    Vice President Joe Biden agrees, easier to use than assault weapons duh ;-)

    to op: Plenty of people collect guns, nothing wrong with it. It's a tool for me so I'd rather have a modern more efficent weapon system. Look at people who collect classic cars

    Yup. They don't even have daily drivers; they just take their Model T's to work...

    Dude, just because somebody has a collection of classic tools doesn't mean that they don't have tools they use, too. (Although I'd never call the M&P on my hip a 'weapon system' for fear I'd sound a total dork. )

    Not necessarily a "bad" person but an unsafe one. Both firearms are capable of holding more than two rounds. Tactical Joe says more than that and you're not as safe.

    That's cool and all, but... Chiappa. Might as well buy a Taurus with 100K rounds through it.

    Now, if you want to get into stupid yet awesome impractical guns... http://www.davide-pedersoli.com/sche...ter-kombo.html

    The Eye-talian firearms industry is pretty incestuous. Odds are good that the historical replicas peddled in the U.S. under the Chiappa name are Pedersolis themselves.

    Besides, what's the worst that happens if it malfs? The soda cans will overrun my position?

    I was thinking the same. Shooting lizards off rocks and hand grenading bunnies. "You get me a baby Hi!".
