The Future of Military Shotguns: The AA-12

My groups theme is the future, and on top this my main personal focus is future military technology upgrades. Over sea war is a common topic of discussion in politics today. Often, people are most worried about the safety of our troops. If we can't get our troops home, the next best thing that we can do is arm them with the deadliest and most dependent weapons in the world. The website address to my artifact that is being discussed is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnrizaO-X00&NR=1. In this video, a new type of shotgun is being showcased, its called the AA-12. It is the first military grade fully automatic shotgun that is capable of firing at a rate of nearly 300 rounds per minute, thats about 5 shotgun rounds per second! On top of this, the AA-12 is capable of firing a special military shell called the frag 12. This round comes in three different types: armor piercing, HE (highly explosive), and fragmentation grenade. This type of weapon advertisement is great for informing followers about what kind of upgrades the US military will be implementing in the near future. The U.S. spends nearly as much money on its military than every other country in the world combined! With the unveiling of weapons like the AA-12, now we can see why. This automatic shotgun, which has been considered the deadliest firearm on the planet, will not only allow our troops to destroy opposing soldiers, but it will also enable them to breach doors and clear out rooms, in a matter of seconds, that are up to 100 meters away. The AA-12 serves as a revolution to the shotgun because it can now fire at an extremely high rate and from long range; both attributes that have been unheard of from a shotgun before now... The future of the military shotgun is now here!

  1. Interesting post. I've heard of this gun before and seen it used on the History Channel. Maybe the future of warfare isn't arming our soldiers with better firearms but arming out firearms with machines.

  2. Either you're really excited about the design of this shotgun, or you've been influenced by the language they used to describe it.
    All I know is, I feel sorry for anyone we declare war against.
