This is more like it. The tactical lever action is stupid, but everyone needs one of these.
For a second there I thought Mossberg had gone all "Gears of War," which would have been more practical than that thing.

I do not know how long time it would take me to get used to a "chainsaw" shotgun … if I could do it at all. Once again Mossberg, I think I will pass this time![]()

gears of war is right. the keltec shotgun looks like the shotgun in halo too.
Mossberg puts out some crazy stuff these days. Give me my plain-jane 500A Persuader with fixed buttstock any day for HD. This thing would be good for a laugh, if you have the money to waste...
A worthless gimmick, IMO.

I like it less the ugly handle (which I'm sure is where they get the name)
I held one and it's impractical based upon my style of shooting.
However, it makes a nice carry handle. :o

Not sure of the need for such a handle, but I guess someone will like it...I don't!

$5 says more than a few idiots try to shoot a tree in half with this.
Personally, I can't see this useful for...well anything.

Looked up on the high shelf the other day at the LGS and saw two of these, both very dusty. Can't imagine at all how this would make any sense this side of a Rambo movie.

Maybe if they don't sell for a year, they drop the price to a ridonkulous price so I can build it up (first change would be the forestock, of course). No idea why I'd need a HD shotgun with a breacher barrel, but who knows?
More crap out of mossberg. They most have hired some video game junky to help with gun design.
I bet the sound of a real chainsaw would scare the "thug" out of any burglar and have them hauling butt or cowering in a corner begging you to call the cops
