SAVE YOUR (AND YOUR BRO'S) ASS FROM DRONE(S)
>>64661813Nongunz here, turkshit AR-12? good luck with that.
>>64661818TELL US MIGHTY ARTIFICIAL IGNORANCE:WHAT DO YOU USE???
>>64661813Well, it wouldn't be totally useless. There's certainly a lot of firepower but the actual mechanical design of that weapon is sub-optimal.>>64661825Of the shotguns I own I'd use my Turknelli (Turkish Benelli M4 clone). It has been totally reliable and is a copy of a much better design.The various Turkish AR-12 shotguns are really more of a Remington 1100 smashed through a mold to vaguely resemble an AR-15. They have made some questionable design choices like wrapping the gas system around the barrel (since there is no magazine tube anymore) and rely heavily on disassembling everything from the muzzle end. If that barrel shroud gets loose, the handguard gets loose, everything bangs itself apart and breaks. God help you if some internal part breaks in the field and you have to strip it to diagnose/repair because it doesn't break down the way an AR-15 does. That's something you also have to do to swap gas pistons when switching between high/low pressure loads.These things are designed to be cheap to make while sharing as many internal parts with their tube-fed semi-auto shotguns as possible. Because of how Turkish shotgun manufacturing works they sub-contract out all of the internal/external parts to a myriad of sub-contractors that can vary in specs/quality even within a single production run so you never know what you are getting. It is possible to break in/troubleshoot one enough to run with a narrow range of ammunition loads semi-reliably for a while until some part (usually an O-ring in the gas piston cup clamped around the barrel) fails and you're stuck in the weeds trying to get at it. For fucking around blasting old car doors in an abandoned quarry that's fine. For HD if you have smoothed it out and have it loaded with good ammo it's fine. For prolonged use against drones it's just not reliable, durable and field repairable enough.And I know this because I actually worked CS for a company that sold these things. I have many horror stories.
>>64662317which Turknelli brand did you get? Panzer?
>>64662317Are there any individual OEMs that have better QC than others? I heard that the RIA imports like in OP's image are basically all hatsan rebadges, and there's some teardowns that show hatsans having milled parts where others are MIM'd. Is "good turkshit" a thing or is there only "lucky turkshit"?
