I watched that when it was on dicovery and it still amazes me. I'd hate to be a robber that breaks into someones house that had one of these bad boys. I dont think that it says on that video clip but they say in one part of it that the foreigners are terrified of those big barrels and stuff instead of a small caliber rifle type of gun. They also have two of those mounted on an armored vehicle that is remote controlled, the guns that is, and you can sit in the cab and look at an lcd screen and watch what you are shooting at b/c the gun bracket has a camera on it. The mount also turns 360 degrees if i am not mistaken. VERY VERY BA.

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet! I want one! I can see me now, No sir Mr. Game Warden, this here gun doesn't have a plug. I wonder it has a screw in choke?
For close combat a scatter gun can’t be beat. The problem that I see still present and that is the weight issue. Especially with that 20 round canister which is bulky and I assume heavy. Weight on the battlefield is a critical issue and carrying bulky heavy magazines around for extended periods has been an issue in the past i.e. the drum canister on a tommy gun replaced by stick magazines.
Looks great to clear a room but I am not sure how the weight will factor in for our guys in a search and destroy or patrol situation. Looks too bulky to be an efficient backup weapon. And again the weight issue of that canister.
But if I had to get to the top floor of a building full of hostiles and I was being helo'ed in, that and two mags would be my primary fo sure!!!!
