Ar 12 , 12 gauge pros cons

[PossumSlayer]

My bonus comes in a few weeks from now and I am considering one.
My thoughts, except for barrel and trigger mechanics and such it's aluminum and plastic , drop or fall no worries. Forehead n kunt might ban them. Screw in chokes, 5 round magazine. Pretty cheap and lightweight.
Do any of you fine folks have one?

I just can't see the appeal of one myself. You can get a 8 or 9 shot Mossberg pump that is completely reliable relatively cheap - at least when things go back to normal and guns are really available again. I'd think it would be a stretch to make an AR feed 12 gauge shells reliably plus if it only holds 5 rounds I don't see why anybody would want one unless you just want to try it out for fun.

I've heard talk that they aren't that reliable yet.

Guy I used to work with had one. It was reliable and fun to shoot. We shot about 100 rounds without a fail to fire or jam. Long term I don't know. I don't remember which one he had.

I went another route, couldn't find one with good reviews.
